Diggin’ the dinosaurs!

Check out this SlideShare Presentation:



This is my powerpoint presentation that I developed as a bit of a test run for a unit of work studying 'Dinosaurs'.  I would use this presentation at the commencement of the unit to give background.  Other smaller presentations could be done to discuss the different species, how fossils tell us about the past, what scientists discover about the history of the world through the study of fossils etc

SWOT Analysis

Strengths - slides can be used over again, altered and manipulated easily; teachers notes can be viewed while the students only see the presentation, no need to memorise; can be printed out for students as a study tool along with the presentation outline; can use sound, animation or link to other websites for additional reference; teacher can manually click through slides at their own pace or present points one at a time

Weaknesses - Technical problems; risk of becoming too bogged down in the 'wizardry' of the presentation instead of using it to enhance learning.

Opportunities - Enhancing learning by incorporating the different learning styles ie. written points, visual (video clips), colour, graphics, sound.
