In this module we learned to make an improved power point that included animations, video, and other elements to make the presentation more appealing.  I do a presentation in my local school district on Bullying prevention and I was able to put together a pretty nice power point using what we learned. 

We also developed a photostory movie with music and a narrative.  I enjoyed this but I had trouble blending the elements of music and voice.  I made an additional movie on Movie Maker putting my voice on one and a narrative on the other.  This project is like a work in progress for me.  Still learning....

What I learned in Module Two

In Module 2 for EDTF 300, I learned to create a booklet which will be tremendously helpful for me at work.  In fact, the agency where I work was using a large packet of handouts to give to our clients explaining services so I took all that information and made a booklet.  The booklet is so much more visually appealing and the size is nice for portability.  I am just ecstatic about learning this skill.  The other benefit is that we currently purchase a number of booklets on a variety of topics.  Purchasing these booklets is expensive to the agency but now I feel like I can replicate them and save the agency money.  See the picture below.  Awesome!





I was also able to make a poster with my group that has similar information to the booklet.  I can hang this in the lobby of the office while people wait.  It provides an interesting visual on Domestic Violence and it's a unique and colorful way to present information to your target audience.
