I learned how much work goes into PowerPoints. I have been creating Power Points almost every day now for the government class I am teaching. I never understood how much work goes into making them presentable and perfect. My skills on Power Point have increased abundantly, and its not that I was not good at them to begin with. The time and effort it takes to position the pictures and letters and animation. Not only this but spelling and grammar check are so important also.
To grow professionally I learned that I want to keep my power points and resources organized so that I can use them in the future. For teachers that have kept their resources it is much easier for them to teach again the next year. I did a power point the other day for my teacher that took me over 2 hours because she had so many specifications that she wanted. It drove me crazy. This has also taught me that I don't want to be a TA, I feel like that is doing all the work with none of the fun, planning all of the power points and movies and projects but not getting to teach it.

Hey Sarah,
I am glad that you are having the opportunity to be with my first cooperating teacher. I love the woman, but I remember her being very specific in what she wanted. I hope that she really does try to get to know you more. She and I had many opportunities to learn about each other. Normally we would talk during lunch. I am so glad that you have have learned how to use powerpoint better. I have a suggestion. you might have figured this out already, but you can copy an entire slide. You can just change the pictures and the text. The animation will all stay. You would only have to add animation for the picture and possible change the order. This is how I would be able to make the powerpoints really fast. I hope all is well. I really miss you.
God Bless
Rhoda
