This powerpoint was a really interesting one to work on. The whole class had to create a powerpoint by themself which included facts about famous scientists and what they did for the anatomy world. These anatomists included Leonardo Da Vinci, Andreas Vesalius, Bartolomeo Eustachi, and Henry Gray. On the powerpoint we had to do only four slides, one for each anatomist. On these slides would be a picture, and a sentence or two on why we chose that picture to represent each scientist. We got the information from links that Mr. Orr had put onto a page. After the powerpoint was finished, my classmates and I were required to create a blog about the powerpoint which we had just created. The blog would also include three important things that each person did to further advance anatomy.

This project since I had learned how to create a powerpoint from the the first semester cells powerpoint, didn't phase me much. The blog was also easier. And, of course, I learned many things from it. I knew before that Da Vinci was a jack of all trades, but I was never aware that he was skilled in anatomy. When I look at his picture of the fetus, it amazes me how close the detail in the drawing was to the real thing. And, I never knew that there was a book called Gray's Anatomy before. Now I know where the title of that show came from. :)

To make this powerpoint better I think I should have created it on the other form of powerpoint, which could record sounds onto the page without haveing to have texts. Then the powerpoint would have looked cleaner, and I would have gotten extra credit for my efforts.
