PowerPoint is a Joke! a Halloween tech project




For a fun seasonal project with powerpoint-  introduce kids to 818 section (jokes & riddles), bookmark some additional Halloween jokes, and let them make some slides.  Have them save to a shared folder, then merge the slides.  Upload the  class show to Slideshare or some other service to disseminate or embed on your website, if desired.

The kids love doing this, they get to practice all kinds of skills, keyboard commands, image resizing, file management and more.  The whole activity can be done in one class period.  The resulting show is fun to share with the whole learning community.
