Like almost everyone else I chose jeopardy for my powerpoint 2 homework. I chose to do math for my game, which included addition, subtraction, time, money and a little bit of algebra using solve for N. I used a simple colored backgroud so it would nto distract from the game itself. At the end of every slide that had an answer their was a link to return to the main or 1st slide which was were the students chose what category or the point range they wanted. I chose points instead of 200 and 100's because which ever team had the most points at the end would win a prize. The points were 1-5.

Peripherals can be used for many things in the classroom. Printers for printing handouts for the students or notes. Also other devices like microphones may be of good use to some teachers depending on the grade level. Mostly for higher grade levels because of the fact that some collge classes can be anywhere from 30 studnts to 500. Also other things like movies would be great for me to use in my second grade class. I can use them for history or geography, reading and maybe even science. There are many ways i will use peripherals in my classroom.

I learned how to link slides so that way i could make the jeopardy game and also in order to just be able to click the next button to move to the next or beginning slide. This was very useful and one technique that i had never learned when doing excel.
