Lesson planning is stressful and time-consuming, but is important in giving us an action plan for the entire school year. The way we design our curriculums and the activities we use will determine how successful our learners will be in grasping new knowledge. Lesson design and planning is important. We have our often mandated objectives as the seeds of our curriculum. They act as the vision, goals, and foundation. From the objectives, spring forth activities and ideas. They are the roots of our curriculum.

Thought that movies can be made only with fancy video software? Think again! This video here shows how you can make short movies using only graphics, clipart, animations and other PowerPoint elements.
The video focusses on digital storybooks, but this technique is quite useful to make short movies even for a business presentation. You could even pick up an animated PowerPoint presentation tool and use that as the basis of for your short 'animated' movie. Something like this doesn't take too much of your time and adding a story/movie to your presentation will add more appeal and pizzazz to your slides!

PowerPoint is like Rodney Dangerfield -- "I get no resprect." But it's one of the most versatile, go-to tools of all time.
