PPT online and YouTube videos??

Have you ever had to do a class project and then present it before the class?

If you have, sometimes you might have found it difficult to coordinate with all the team members and work together on the presentation.

- What if you guys could work on it online from different places?

- You could change it and then see what it looks like with the rest of the team?

- What about also including YouTube videos in your slides? Traditionally with microsoft all you can include are windows media videos… Have you ever had to switch windows between your power point and the internet browser? Don’t have to anymore…

What do you think about it?

An example of an online presentation

No more boring data!

If you thought that data filled presentations could only be presented one way — boring — you are wrong.

Watch the video shown below for a new way of presenting scientific information.

Then, provide some comments on other ways you think data could be presented in interesting ways!!

New Online Productivity and Collaboration Tools

Facilitator: Juan Rojas, Graduate Teaching Fellow

Session 2, 2:30-3:45

Register for this session here!

During this workshop you will learn about the latest technologies available to visualize your data, work as a team on all kinds of documents, and discovering new ways of using everyday classroom tools.

There are some new amazing tools that allows us to freely and easily manage data to create dynamic visualizations that we have dreamed off…

There are also new systems that allows us to work on documents, notes, cells, presentations, online and in collaboration with other people. These programs have some exciting new features!

Can you think of ways in which such tools would be useful to your course work, research, or students? Would you write down a number of items that you can think of?

This session will be repeated on January 26, 2009 at the CFT!
