Spotlight
Becky Lee,
Midway’s media specialist, designed and created a PowerPoint slide show to showcase
all the nominee’s for the Georgia Picture Book Awards. A scanned picture of the
nominated book, a title box, and a picture of a student reviewer was included in each
slide. The student reviewers then recorded a short synopsis of their books and Mrs.
Lee inserted the sound into the slides. Mrs. Lee burned a CD to archive her hard
work and recorded the slide show on a video cassette. The finished product was aired
throughout the school during morning announcements. Students at Midway utilized the
slide show to review the nominees before casting votes for the 1999 winner.
Thank you Mrs. Lee for embracing technology! |
