PowerPoint in the Early Childhood classroom? I had never thought about this possibility before now. PowerPoint was something that I had seen and used primarily in work presentations and even in these cases the presentations were generic, bland and boring to say the least.
Creating a PowerPoint lesson for early childhood children was a bit of a challenge considering how I had used it previously but I quickly made the shift from boring to colorful and interactive. I also became more aware of making provisions within the presentation for children with special needs. Making the presentation as accessible as possible would ensure that children who would have been excluded from taking part in this type of lesson could easily be included with a few minor adjustments.

Prezi is another presentation tool that I found online. It is essentially PowerPoint taken to the next level. Presentations can be posted live. Here's an interesting presentation about raising a child with disabilities and inclusion. http://prezi.com/9qhxa8c7ezyt
