2. WHAT IS POWERPOINT?
• Microsoft PowerPoint, usually just called PowerPoint, is a
commercial presentation program developed by Microsoft.
PowerPoint uses a graphical approach to presentations in
the form of slide shows that accompany the oral delivery of
the topic.
3. WHAT IS POWERPOINT?
• PowerPoint and similar slide show presentation
programs provide an effective approach to both
student work and classroom instruction. It effectively
prepares students for the world in which they will
work as adults. Using PowerPoint and slide shows to
teach offers benefits, as well. Technology surrounds
students. To reach them, teachers must use the
language they understand: technology.
5. Interaction and Engagement
• PowerPoint and slide presentations hold student
attention through the use of video, graphics and
music. Because students today are so
technologically advanced, tools that involve
technology such as slide shows increase student
involvement and interaction.
6. Ability to Capitalize on Modern Media
• The Internet provides current events coverage and
the latest information on an enormous number of
topics. Slide show tools allow you to incorporate
text, video, audio and photos from the Internet
easily, allowing you to share the most recent
information using media that engage students.
7. Integration of Multiple Sources
• Using PowerPoint and slide shows, you can
integrate multiple sources in your classroom
presentations. For example, you easily can
incorporate photos of student work, video from a
field trip, related content from news sources and
the latest expert research into a single presentation.
8. Availability of Instruction
• Rather than handing absentee students written
notes of a lesson they missed, you can replay your
lesson or presentation using a slide show. Absent
students receive the same instruction as those who
are present, so they do not fall behind.
9. Cooperation and Collaboration
• Teachers can share lessons and presentations
simply using a file-sharing system or flash drive.
Teachers can share the workload of creating
presentations. Furthermore, a student seeing more
than one teacher's presentations is exposed to more
than one point of view.
10. Summarize Detailed Reports
• PowerPoint presentations capture the essence and
summarize key points of highly detailed
reports, surveys and studies on any subject or
domain.
11. Educational Value
• PowerPoint presentations are used by professors
and teachers to add value to their lectures and
notes.
12. Sales Presentations
• Sales professionals regularly use compelling
PowerPoint presentations comprising of data and
informative content to inform, educate and enthuse
different user audiences about products and
services.
13. Effective Visual Tool
• The visual imagery made possible by juggling
various PowerPoint combinations, design templates
and other tools is used by speakers to add value to
speeches and presentations and engage audiences
via projector screens during conferences, seminars
and symposiums.
15. Appropriate use of PowerPoint can enhance the
teaching and learning experience for both staff and
students
16. It provides encouragement and support to staff by
facilitating the structuring of a presentation in a
professional manner
17. By careful mixing of media, a presentation can
appeal to a number of different learning styles and
be made more stimulating.
18. The electronic file format allows distribution and
modification for/by students unable to be present
or who have impaired visual or auditory
difficulties.
19. The portability of the files, especially on compact
disks (CDs) with their large capacity, allows
presentations to be given wherever the technology
is available or distributed where appropriate.
Presentations can also be set up to run
automatically if required e.g. as
demonstrations/instructions within a laboratory
