I have decided to create a PowerPoint presentation. I know it’s not the most creative approach, but I decided to do it for two reasons. For one thing, I have a lot of information to present, and I don’t think a poem or quilt (or something else) would allow me enough room to present it all. And secondly, I have actually created more web pages than PowerPoint presentations. Throughout college we made many PowerPoint presentations… in groups. It seemed like I was always the one compiling the information, and someone else was the one preparing the presentation. I have only actually created one PowerPoint presentation, and it seems to be an increasingly important skill – especially if I want to teach it to students or teachers!
Who else will see this presentation? Well, I’m first going to show my husband, then probably my Aunt Ingrid – a long-time organics supporter – and my best friend Meg. Meg is in a similar situation as I am: she is environmentally conscious but does not have money to waste on organics if it’s all a big scam.
But really anyone could benefit from the information in my presentation. Whether you are considering going organic or never gave it a second thought, people should be educated about what they eat (or could be eating).

Your inquiry sounds great and I love your chart. How did you do it? I am also doing a power point, and I really hope that I've done enough. I'm stressing because there is so much information I could have included and so many little tangents to go off on, but I've tried to keep it pretty basic or else it's overwhelming. Well anyways, your project looks great. Outlining was also a smart idea.
Hey Heidi,
Just wanted to say your topic and blog entries look great. I also wanted to congratulate you on your choice of presentation software. You guessed it, I also chose to use PowerPoint. I really do believe it is one of the better mediums that allows you to narrow a large topic and have an audience focused in on the one aspect. I've been teaching it for a number of years now, and would be glad to help if you need any suggestions. Great job.
