powerpoints
I completed a Microsoft Office course offered by our school last quarter. I gained a great deal of powerpoint skill from it. Of course I'll be a work in progress, but I would recommend add'l powerpoint-specific training to anyone as you can get alot out of it.
I have found that powerpoint presentations are very helpful in helping explain the lesson. Students seem to like this kind alternative way to help increse retention.
80% of my information is done through Power point presentations. I have even been able to change our Power points so new information was added and the students could learn more information in the class
PowerPoint presentations that accompany the text book are great but can be even better when you add/delete to support your own delivery. This is especially true when you add movement/sound to static slides.
I agree. Adding our own slides or info makes it more personal. I always try to add a personal related career-field moment story into each slide. If gives the student a glimps into their future career. It also helps end the powerpoint with a discussion.
I recently learned power point. I find it to be a great resource. It's fun, full of color, pictures can be added to make it more interesting. I'd recommend it to anyone.
I agree power point and using pictures are a great attention graber and break up the the routine. Having your P.P. showing real life situations are wonderfull.
