How PowerPoint Can Enhance Classroom Instruction


Use PowerPoint presentations to enhance the effectiveness of classroom instruction in many ways in every subject area.
· Main points can be emphasized and the presentation itself can be enhanced by using graphics, animation, or sound.
· Add flair to presentations with slide and bullet transitions and animated effects.
· Presentations can be used to make lessons more organized and flexible.
· Text on a PowerPoint presentation is much easier for students to read than trying to read notes that are written on an overhead projector or chalkboard.
· Student interest can be stimulated through the use of graphics and cartoons.
· Variety is the key to keeping the attention of students.
· Many tools are available for use with PowerPoint, so experiment to see what works best for you and your students.
