PowerPoint’s are an excellent resource tool, which are used throughout the world for presentations, teaching and for notes. I find power points a very effective resource its flexible, easy to modify, slides are organised, used in large classrooms, can add animation, photos, music and links but the main advantage of power points is that it is reusable. Its less time consuming and can be used on any pc or laptop which makes it flexible and efficient. PowerPoint’s control the pace of the lesson, if students are not sure about a slide we can return to it within seconds. Power points can be put on drives or storage sites were students could access if a lesson was missed.
PowerPoint on odd occasions do encounter technical difficulties, such as opening sequence which I have had trouble with at times but now I have resolved the problem. Projection can also be a problem the strength of the light, also the room it is shown in has to be darkened which can restrict taken notes.
Overall power points are effective, reliable, and reusable; the lesson can be run by it and makes learning fun if animation photos pictures are involved. Power points are simple to use and with the addition of animation etc it encourages students and keeps the learners engaged.
Below are some typical slides, which I use in my everyday classes.
