Presentations
don't have to conform to the "death by PowerPoint" nature of
corporate slide shows. And after years of having slides for my tape-slide
installations, lectures or topic introductions drop out of carousels,
which then jammed - not to mention the slides that always managed to
project upside down or back to front - multimedia electronic presentations
are a boon, especially in classrooms with interactive whiteboards.
PowerPoint
to Flash conversion For
greater cross platform and online accessibility software is now readily
available that will convert your PowerPoint files to Flash movies. A few
of these are Open Source programs and free to use. Download a PDF summary of

Rousseau and his painting Surprise!
|
 |
The
presentation aims to encourage visual literacy through a model that can be
applied to any painting, although the focus is on a specific work. It
examines what a reproduction
of a painting can and can't tell us, followed by a web search with answers,
and some facts about Rousseau's life and work. It was designed for key
stage 2 pupils, but is suitable for lower key stage 3 too. Other
resources:

project on the painting;
