3. What PowerPoint will not do
It will not replace having to think
It will not eliminate the need for planning and
designing with paper and pen
It will not make the students ‘smarter’
It will not take over from the teacher’s many roles
It is not indispensable
It will not make your world dissolve if you do not use
it
To get a full animated impression of this
tutorial, please download the PPT and
run it from your computer!
