Well, I took the first six slides of my version 2 presentation and re-did them with SlideRocket.  If you have not heard of them, give them a peek.  They are a new startup that can do some amazing things with “powerpoints”.  They aren’t powerpoints any more, simply because we aren’t using powerpoint. 

It can be also seen here if the imbed does not take.

What do you think?  Is it worth continuing?  It looks nice, but it can not do math equations, so I really couldn’t use it during the year.  Too bad.

So I am giving a presentation to my district math teachers on our first day back to school on Mastery Assessment.  Yikes.  I have made two different presentations. The first one, I edited and edited and had what I think is an okay presentation.  Here it is.

So, I set it on the shelf for a few days, and then re-visited it.  Ick.  I asked myself, “What is the story I am trying to tell?”  “Am I successful in telling a story here?” 

So, I made a second version. Obviously the answer to my second question was no.

There is a minor difference right on the first page.  A little better mixing of Serif and Sans Serif fonts (one of each instead of both sans serif), and there is more to tell inside.

Please, let me have it.  How could I make it better.  Does it now tell a better story?  Is it more coherent?  Obviously the information will be coming from me, the presentation is there to illustrate, not to educate.  But is it doing what I want it to do?

Thanks for any feedback.
