Having students without computers would be a struggle for me because i plan on relying on technology alot. I realize that students will not all have computers and I think if there are situations that exist like this in schools, i think the first thing i would do is try and rectify it.
One of the first things I would do is bring it to the attention of the community that kids dont have acess to computers and that its going be detrimental to students future. Bringing the problem out in the open and help people see it as a problem would be the first step.
I would try and get money to help purchase basic computers for the school and for the students, I know there are computers that are less then a hundred dollers that is made by a company that is trying to spread technology in Africa to help them get acclimated to using technology. So I would contact this company to get this done.
So basically instead of ignoring the problem and just trying to teach without technology i would instead solve the problem to begin with and then teach.

Power point presentations
I thought that everyone used some great videos in their presentations and that they used alot of good mediums such as pictures and sound to do a great job in their presentations. A good example of some of the pictures was kelsey, she used interlapping photos which I thought were creative.
The thing i liked least of all was the amount of sounds some people had in their presentations, i thought that they were distracting and didnt match with what was being displayed. I think having less sounds would be a good thing to do.
If i were to do this assighnment again, i would put in links that were important in my topic. Hyperlinking photos was be a pretty good addition to my project.
I think power point presentations are a really good way to help students keep engaged, i just want to make sure that I am the main focus and not random information or words in my presentation. I think printing out the power point presentation as notes would be a good idea to combat that.
