PowerPoint is a high-powered software tool used for presenting information in a dynamic slide show format. Text, charts, graphs, sound effects and video are just some of the elements PowerPoint can incorporate into your presentations with ease. Therefore it is apparent that a PowerPoint does not have to be boring in the classroom. The most important thing to remember is that a PowerPoint is only a supplement to the lesson and it should not be the lesson.
A PowerPoint is an excellent tool to use for visual learners. However with the teacher's explanation it becomes a mighty tool for auditory learners, because it will allow them to see and hear the information.
Furthermore, it is important to remember that a PowerPoint is not a tool to be used in every lesson, every day. It should also be used in conjunction with other teaching strategies to ensure learning outcomes for all the students.
I think powerpoints are quite an ancient technology tool of getting information off paper and onto a computer screen. I enjoyed reading you points and your reflection on this tool.
