Do you own an iPod? This is the page for you!
Is it possible to use your iPod to study? It is now! Mr. Brewer, with the guidance and help of Mr. Coley has created specially designed PowerPoint presentations that can serve as color flash cards to help you review some of the concepts studied in class. Today, more than ever, educators must find creative ways to help their students stay focused and willing to study when they would rather be listening to music. With this concept your child can do both. Using iPod's "Photos" feature, you can transfer the images to your iPod and study on the go! How cool is that?! Do you own a Microsoft Zune? These flash cards can be viewed on a Zune as well! If you don't have an iPod or a Zune, that's okay too. You can download the PowerPoint presentations and view them on your computer.
Simply click on the set you wish to download. You will be taken to a secondary page where you will see the title of the set your looking for. Next to each set of cards you will find two (2) file types to choose from. One should be downloaded if you choose to load the images on an iPod or MP3 Video player, and the other would be used if you will view the cards in a program such as Microsoft Power Point. If you don't have either, you can download a free viewer from Microsoft. You can find this viewer by clicking PowerPoint Viewer. Please use the directions below to help you what ever format you choose.
