Teachers' Classroom Uses

Teachers can spice up their lesson plans and presentations with PowerPoints. They are appropriate for all subjects and all learning styles for students.

  • Creative Presentation Ideas
    Flash Cards - Flashcard presentations for individual and group reinforcement. You can create a template and choose whether you or your students will insert the words or phrases. Topics may include: reinforcing math concepts; practicing parts of speech; practicing spelling; reinforcing story problems; and reinforcing numbers, letters, or colors.

  • Science Presentations - Use PowerPoint to teach processes and how things work. Teachers or students can add additional items to a diagram to illustrate how a process grows and changes. Science principles work well using this format.

  • Student Portfolios - PowerPoint can be used to create portfolios of student work.

  • Jeopardy - The teacher can download one of many templates on line and create Review Games for any subject. http://teach.fcps.net/trt10/PowerPoint.htm
