PowerPoint as an instructional Tool

Powerpoint has many diverse advantages to be used within a classroom. Powerpoint can be used as an efficient lecturing technique in which teachers strategically create powerpoint presentations and present them to their students for lecture purposes. When Powerpoint is used in this fashion, it makes it possible for students to refer back to. This serves as a multi-dimensional teaching tool because students with different learning capacities have something to refer back to incase they need extra time or forget something important. Powerpoint can also be used for students to serve as teachers. They can create Powerpoints of their own and use them as teaching tools for other students. Powerpoint allows them to become familiar with computers and programs that will further their computer saviness overall. It allows students to use their creativity and personal flare while encorporating important general computer knowledge. I am fairly comfortable using powerpoint in the educational setting. There are probably a few new neat tricks that I am unaware of regarding the program but I think the more I use it, the better I will become.
