2. Power Point is the type of technology that I
chose to use for my presentation
It is visual
It can be interactive
It is streamlined
3. Visual Appeal
• Power Point enables the teacher to add a vast
amount of visual aids from multiple online
sources
• The teacher is able to show students examples
of the concepts with videos and pictures
Picture of DNA showing
mutation
4. Interactivity
• It allows the students to interact with the
teacher and the technology to gather
information
• When the audience is engaged, learning
increases
5. Example of student interaction
The teachers notes are highlighted with important facts:
• Bacterial Transformation
What clues did bacterial transformation yield about the gene?
By observing bacterial transformation, Avery and other scientists
discovered that the nucleic acid DNA stores and transmits genetic
information from one generation of bacteria to the next.
The student fills in the blanks on his or her pre printed paper:
By observing bacterial transformation, Avery and other scientists
discovered that the nucleic acid __________stores and transmits
__________________from one generation of bacteria to the next.
6. Streamline
• Power Point allows the teacher to convey
important knowledge in a concise, orderly
manner
• Each slide can contain one important concept
or topic without the overload of less
important details
7. Power point is an easy and efficient way to
communicate information to your students in
a way that is visual, interactive, and concise.
