The Power in Power Point

Power point is an excellent technology that provides a smooth presentation of information. It is a projection of slides on a screen and the creator can add animation, movie clips, pictures, or text. It's an excellent improvement from the chalk board or handouts.

As a teacher I am excited to use power point in my classroom because if I create it correctly it will be a seamless presentation of information with lots of graphics and interesting animations. I am hoping to be able to save the power points and use them the following year just updating some of the slides. It's also exciting because it saves time writing on the board so it keeps the students more engaged in learning.

I completely agree with how easy and convenient it is to use powerpoint in a classroom. And also being able to use it the next year, just updating the information. Writing notes on the board always feels like it takes alot of time, and it could be messy and annoying, but with powerpoint all we will have to do in our classroom is click a botton. Also it will be easier for students to read and follow along.
