This interactive and editable PowerPoint presentation is all about getting your students selecting objects. The class will learn how to select, move and resize images as they clean up the park in this engaging activity. For best results, create a copy for each student or add the presentation to a shared folder. Run the presentation outside of Slide Show mode to use the interactive elements.
Use during whole class computer lessons or literacy group rotations.
