interesting powerpoint presentations....
In searching Dana Huff's outstanding website (http://class.huffenglish.com/), I found a series of wonderful powerpoint presentations that she has created on such topics as Romanticism, the Fireside Poets, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Modernism, and Postmodernism. In order to access the links and the presentations, see the following link: http://class.huffenglish.com/?p=120. While this may be a simple use of powerpoint, it still is a wonderful use of some simple technology. These powerpoint presentations are available on-line, so students can access them before, during, and after, studying the given topics. Worth considering....
