Learning from the task of raindrops

As I am not sophisticated with powerpoint, only plane presentation without any interactivity was used in the first two tasks (self introduction and atmosphere). But in the task of raindrops, my partner and I have agreed to try to employ some interactivity in the task. And I also know that there is a function in the powerpoint that can easily allow an object to fall so that we need not make a number of slides to present the same falling effect and this saves us a lot of time.

From the presentation of Ivan's and Theresa's group presentation, I notice that a question can be put at the very beginning to engage readers to interrogate before they can get the answers.

Some classmates have used Flash in this task. Overall speaking, Flash can create more interesting and attractive display. But I do not mean that powerpoint is inferior. Looking at Martin and Dorothy's group and Theresa's group presentation, they have used powepoint and the presentation has included some interactivity and easy to navigate.

One more point learnt from Martin and Dorothy's group is the mouseover effect in the powerpoint. Using this function can make the presentation more interesting and appealing. Besides using interactive buttons, the mouseover effect can enhance another kind of interactivity between readers and the visual display.

With the increase use and popularity of internet, I usually resort to internet to search information for most of the time for its convenience and fast response. Just remind by Daniel, I realize that although there are plenty of resources in the internet, whether the information is correct or not still needs validation. Looking up information in books in library can also be a possible way of checking the correctness. To evaluate web resources, I should compare authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency and coverage, etc. (http://lib.nmsu.edu/instruction/eval.html).
