In order to find media for our presentation, I reverted back to Google! I love using Google Image to find great pictures and diagrams for presentations. However, you must be careful and site these sources. In addition, some state they are copyrighted.
To find the Jeopardy templates, I also "googled". In addition, I searched the windows site under PowerPoint templates. There were a few to choose from, but they cost some money and I of course wanted a free one! However, I wanted one that would keep score and eliminate the question from the price board once it had been used. After much searching, I found a couple that would do this. However, they did not have the neat sound effects that the others had.
To find sound effects, I headed back to Google! There were many clips of the deliberation tune, but not of the intro. I did find one of the announcer stating, "This is Jeopardy!". What I ended up doing was attaching this sound clip to our first page and copying a first page from another template to import the opening music. It was a bit technical, because if I imported an additional page than the template was all off by a page and the sequencing with the questions and price amounts would not work. So, I had to import the page and fix it how I wanted then delete the original first page.
This was a lot of searching and technical tweaking, but the result is worth it. I hope you will agree!

Joellan,
ReplyDeleteGoogle is a very good search engine that I have used a lot. I also use it for this project. The big challenge for me is how to narrow down the results. I have tried to add concept words, use vocabulary that is more specific to the topic, and use the quotation marks.

ReplyDeleteWith our problem-based learning speech fast approaching, I also have leaned much regarding the use of power-point.
I had a great deal of difficulty attempting to enbed a video on our power-point. Finally, last night I was able to insert a video, without any looping or redirecting to a URL. I am learning so much regarding the use of technology this semester. I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into presentations, blogs and wikis.
