Mrs. Tamez,
How do I load a powerpoint into my blog? And I also was wondering if you could let me know if the video on my blog is appropriate to show as a part of my presentation tomorrow and in my final project. It's the Dave Chappelle - Kid's Cartoons. And I was wondering what the format was for the presentations? I was wanting to show what I had and bring up some topics but, I wanted to have a discussion about the topic of racism in children's entertainment and hear other people's thoughts. Thanks

Hi Ross,
I am not sure how to load a powerpoint onto the blog, but I know how to upload a powerpoint to the site: "Academic Keys" (google it). You just create an account, which is FREE, and then you can upload powerpoints directly there, and it will giver you a link. Then, you add that link to your blog, through the 'customize', and then "add page element", then "links". You can title the Link: "Title of Your Powerpoint presentation"... and then we can click on it and go directly to the site online.
You can direct your own presentation.
I would focus on giveing an overview of why you selected this subject, why it is important to you, your story. Then, I'd share key aspects of your research: what was your original problem statement/thesis/idea, and how did that change as you got further into the process of research? What were your initial assumptions? How did those shift over the project? What were the key influencing theories learned from the class that directed your research? What community based theories directed your reserach (from the people). How did those reflect difference from what you may have expected or assumed you'd find?
Finally, give us a sense of your findings/outcomes... and what you stilll don't know but what you are still very interested to learn and find out in your everyday independent 'research', 'mesearch' and 'wesearch' process.
Hope that helps. I'm going to post this question and answer to the blog!
