TARGET
At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in developing and utilizing materials (slide presentations) which involve students in meaningful learning.

Reflections

1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide presentation? How did you overcome them?

For me, I find it difficult on how to start the presentation, on what theme, design or fonts to use. When I have plenty of ideas, it would take sometime to sort those ideas. I overcame it by being patient, take time to think more and careful planning so that  I won't have major changes of the presentation.
