PowerPoint

What did I do? I created my PowerPoint presentation on saying no to drugs. You could use this Powerpoint with any grade level. Preventing drug use should be taught in all grades so that is why I chose this topic. I have never heard of SlideShare before doing this assignment. I really liked how easy it was to upload and publish my presentation. Here is my PowerPoint.

What did I learn? I learned how to create and publish my PowerPoint presentation.

How could I use it? I could use my Powerpoint presentation in my classroom to teach students that drugs are harmful to everyones' health. And that it's best to say no to drugs.
