In our ICT program we learned to use different programs to edit photos and use digital storytelling programs. I found it really interesting. I've used Photoshop a lot in the past, but I was amazed at how many other programs there are for editing photos, and even more amazed by how easy and quick some of them are to use. Digital storytelling programs or different presentation programs could be very useful in a class as well. They provide useful visuals for students and can also be an interactive way for students to learn. Most students today enjoy using computers or devices like iPads or tablets, and using programs like these can be a quick way to get students engaged about subjects they typically might not be.
We also went over common Powerpoint errors that people make. I had a good laugh at this, because I think everyone in the class had seen all of those errors made in the past, especially errors like too many bullet points or too many animations. Powerpoint is very useful and has been growing in popularity in classrooms a lot over the past few years. I will probably use it in my classrooms once I start teaching, and I will have to be careful to not make those same mistakes.
