Powerpoint

This week in class, we learned about powerpoint. It was short and sweet, but great because I already use powerpoint and know how it works. Powerpoint is a learning tool that can be used for many things in the classroom. I've used it for many uses in my own education. Mostly presenting and teaching a class a concept is where I have used it. I like it because it adds the visual concept of learning with words. So if a student is a visual learner, you can add pictures. But if they learn from just reading, they can also learn.

Some uses I found for it in the 50 Quick and Easy Powerpoint Activities Book are to use it for a journal each day for students. Another use it to have students create biographies with pictures on it and present it to a class. You could use it to teach your family history and make a family photo album on it. You could create your own story on it and read it with pictures to the class. You could use it for simple steps on how to complete a math problem. There are countless uses of powerpoint and its a great tool for students to know how to do because it is used in classes all the time.

It is great for teachers because it adds direction so the teacher does not get side tracked as easily. You can also teach a variety of subjects with powerpoint. You can use it to teach math, history, science, etc. And you can easily copy and paste pictures into it. You can be as creative or as simple as you wish. Its so easy to use that students can learn it quickly and teach others with it.
