The article I chose to use was called, Tell Me Your Story: A Reflection Strategy for Preservice Teachers.
This article talked about teachers using the strategy of "Tell Me Your Story" to help them to reflect on an event or reading. It is suggested to be used by student teachers so that they may be able to make the connection within their environment. It provides for a more narrative approach for preservice teachers to talk about their experiences. This study has only been applied to one student teaching but the author believes that if more people apply it to the studies that teacher education may increase in value.

When I began my intro to powerpoint project, I never knew how hard to was to make the size of the project so small. When picutres are added to a project it make the size increase extremely. Before I knew it I was on my third slide and my project was already 1.5MB which I know is over 1000KB. This was a problem. After compressing the pictures and removing some of the words off the slides I thankfully was able to reduce the size. This was very hard for me because when I make powerpoint i love to add detail and make them appealing to the eye. Hopefully in the future I will not have a size limit on my powerpoints!
