I thougt my powerpoint presentation was pretty good. I like to use a lot of visuals and I think my links really will give students a new perspective of how similar we are to the Neanderthal. I want students to immerse themselves in what it would have been like to live in the Ice Age. The more visuals and animation I can use the better.
I hope to use video in my class. For some students, its not enough to just read the history of a people, they have to see it. I like to use other types of media to teach and using even fictional movies and books to reach a student and at least spark some interest is something I hope to accomplish. I want to use as much outside resources as I can, and have students educate themselves as much as possible. I think that we as teachers should guide students in the right direction (this concept might not apply to every subject).
I definitely think powerpoint is the way to go as far as relating important important key factors of the lesson and making sure the studetns have something to focus on as opposed to just reading from the text. For a lot of students, its not easy to pick out important concepts, and having the main idea written out helps the student flesh it out through the lecture details.
