In the classroom I would use powerpoint to paint the greatest pictures therefore making it easier for students to conceptualize what is being conveyed. By using pictures, art, graphic, and text emphasis, student’s interest will be kept longer as well as heightened. Tools such as powerpoint do not crowd the mind while an instructor is speaking when done correctly.
It has been proven that by not only using the traditional auditory method of conveying information, but also using the highly visual aid such as powerpoint, the information that students take in is effectively learned long term as opposed to just retained in short. I will use all means of this instrument along with notes to support my students more than monomethod of learning.
Because powerpoint has been and is such an effective tool, it creates an interaction with students and the teaching professional by getting students involved. As you make certain to notate all of your references on the slides, you have the opportunity to direct each of your students to access the site and provide you a paper or small paragraph as to what they think or understand about the material covered. This in turn provides you with some feedback as to how good of a job you may have done when providing the information to them. It serves as an awesome tool for learning and even entertainment.
