This week we focused on designing a PowerPoint that related to our content area. I chose to make a PowerPoint relating to Fibonacci's sequence. This PowerPoint would lead students to figuring out Fibonacci's sequence for themselves and then discovering what the equation for the sequence was by looking at the properties of the sequence itself. I think that discovering something on your own furthers your learning because it then becomes much more interesting to you and you will remember it because you discovered it mostly on your own.
We met the NETS Standard of Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments. We met this standard by designing these PowerPoints and are wiki spaces page which we could use to further education in our future classrooms.
I found the PowerPoint project very interesting. At first it was hard because I didn't understand how I could incorporate High School Calculus into a PowerPoint but once I started searching on the Internet a bit I knew what I could do. I made the PowerPoint into steps of figuring out a sequence through pictures and a word problem. I kind of played off of how Fibonacci, himself, discovered his sequence but in a digital way with having the problem become interactive.
