**Election Results** On Election Day, the media is constantly reporting the results of polling as the numbers are returned. I decided to bring this concept to the classroom on the class election day. At the beginning of the period, the class received their "ballot" and voted between two candidates to be the class president. I collected the ballots and randomly chose a few at a time to have numbers to report. While students were waiting for results, they completed their "ABCs of Elections" assignment.

I chose this PowerPoint for my artifact because I think it was innovative and appropriate to use to demonstrate the election process, especially polling, for the students. Many students wanted to know the results right away, but many more enjoyed finding out as the class period continued. In order to make the presentation successful, I had to find the percentages as I released the information (with 1/3 of the polls reporting, etc.). Overall, knowing how to use PowerPoint and manipulate the information for it to work demonstrates my knowledge of this particular type of technology.
