I made one Encyclopedic Knowledge LR file of the type you are talking about. It is planets.  It has the pictures of the 8 planets as well as Pluto and 10 facts read for each one.  Here is the link: http://forum.brillkids.com/downloads/?sa=view;id=3048. I was thinking about doing my program in this way, but I think other than HeyBlue no one else was interested in creating this type of file, if that is changed I might be interested in doing more. But I was also just considereing stepping up my physical bits creation as we are moving and now have more room.

linzy,

Is it possible we habe it in powerpoint?

[TeachingMyToddlers]

Linzy- that file is gorgeous, exactly how I want to make mine! I need to sit down and figure out how to make one, I have never done it. Do you have any tips or advice? My only comment is that some of the facts are a little long, but I know how challenging it is to condense everything down. Pretty much impossible, isn't it?

I would LOVE a whole collection just like that!

We can try to build some LR-based EK categories with the help of everyone!  Please join in the discussion here:

@LilyAndOwensMom,

Please tell me if I can help here for making any EK files.

@ 2010BEBES,

The powerpoint files will have limitations of randomizing facts for each show.
The LR will be good options to create EK files

Ok that sounds great!
Now for the facts or bits of information, are you looking for one fact per picture or 10 fact per picture that will be randomize during the presentation. Just so everyone knows what to collect.

Yes, I understand LR is much much better but i don't have it that is why i ask if you have it also on powerpoint.
Do not worry if you don't. Maybe in time i can afford a LR kit.

This page has many power point presentation. Its a very good collection indeed.
However many of it are not having sound in it and so my daughters are not finding in interesting.

This link also provides some good EK ppts.

Hi All,

There we will make a list of all who wants to be volunteers and
we will decide which categories for each volunteer will start work on.

Thanks kreena, i like that page a lot. I download most of geography and will show to my grandson.
Will keep looking the other topics, there certainly are a lot of ppt and of various topics.
Karma to you.

DeneBug,

Why can we not use brightly colored books with colorful photos or illustrations?
PJB.

[kreena]

Hi PJB,

I didn't get you clearly ! 

Which pictures are you talking about?

In my opinion the children love bright colors pictures and we should use them.
Just the picture should be relevant to the topic/word we are showing.
