journal 1

I seem to always just bullet point.  Bullet points should be used for important points and I tend to use them for everything!  That can be repetitive and boring to look at.  It can also cause confusion to students on which points are more important than others.

I tend to design my slides with a personalized princible... I learn better when things are related to me so if I was teaching to a class of elementary students I would present the lesson in a way that they could relate to.  Which would take some thinking and observing considering they do not take place in the same daily events that adults do.  

The biggest challenge for me to overcome is to shorten the over writing I do and cut to the point more in my presentations.  I tend to over write and that can loose the audience or class.
