Powerpoint

PowerPoint!

When I think of Microsoft's PowerPoint, I think of a great teaching tool for students as it is great opportunity to engage them using a variety of applications. PowerPoint Applications can vary from video, audio, text, images, charts and animations which can help cater for the vast majority of learning styles such as auditory / visual or even kinesthetic. PowerPoint has become a very popular presentation tool which teachers and students can easily use to present information.
It is affective way of teaching through a visual program instead of reading from a textbook, in which it engages students as they can view the powerpoint and they are motivated to keep watching it to facilate their learning.Plus i believe it is more appealing to them in which can anable them to take notes from the presentation and ask particular questions referring to that slide instead of researching through a textbook. As a teacher we can present the information of the powerpoint slides or we can be a backdrop to the presentation through the different forms of media applications it provides. As we head into the future i believe powerpoint will grow further and provide us teachers with a great teaching tool to expand our students knowledge of our subjects through the applications of media of the program to suit their learning styles.
