NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

I really enjoy reading National Geographic regularly and the photography is exceptional in every issue. I believe that I have seen this photographer's name in issues that I have read. I find National Geographic pictures to be great for engaging students to expressively communicate utilizing pictures for descriptions. Pictures can also be used for prompts for written expression activities.

Here is one regarding Music Therapy with Autism Spectrum Disorders by Mimi Sinclair:

Music Therapy with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Review of Research

I chose this presentation because it allowed me to review some of the literature and research regarding success with utilizing music with ASD students. This presentation reminded me of the standard PowerPoint presentations that I have created in the past and been exposed to when I returned to school for my Masters degree and when I was working in the business world.

I don't have much current experience with PowerPoint presentations in my current capacity as a speech pathologist in schools. I could potentially have students use PowerPoint as a language activity. Using Slideshare in the classroom would be a way for reinforcing a given subject or providing students with models regarding options available for creative presentations.

Based on what I viewed on Slideshare, what can be created and embedded into PowerPoint has come a long way from 10-20 years ago. When I worked with PowerPoint I was usually placing printed content into a given standard template. Another area that I will have to expand my adventurous-self to discover. Gregory Jacoby
