2. A PowerPoint presentation can enhance
the intellect of students. At the same
time, it helps the teachers in their
teaching methods. Different fonts, visual
effects, and highlighting can help
students learn new information quicker.
It leads them to write better answers in
their exams.

3. What are the Main Features of
Microsoft PowerPoint?
The most popular features of Microsoft
PowerPoint are as follows: Animations, designs,
being able to add images and videos, and also
editing those images and videos. With
PowerPoint, you can use all the features
available to make presentations that really
stand out and could help you boost
presentation into instructional materials in
teaching.
4. 1. PowerPoint Design Ideas
It can be found in the “Design” tab in PowerPoint
Design Ideas can help you save a good amount of
time and make your slides look good. It is a great
feature for those who perhaps want to improve the
design of the slides but are not really great at
creating designs.
Design Ideas is a great feature that is unique to
Microsoft PowerPoint and something that most
other presentation programs do not have.

5. 2. Animations
Microsoft PowerPoint animations allow you to
emphasize certain points of your current slide.
There are primarily 3 categories of animations in
PowerPoint. You can select any object in your slide
an animate it with these animations:
Entrance Animation - is a type of animation that will make a
shape, text or any other element appear on a slide
Emphasis Animation - can be used when you want to highlight or
bring attention of the audience members to a particular element
on the slide.
Exit Animations - can be applied when you want a certain element
to disappear from the slide.

6. 3. Slide Transitions
A lot of people confuse slide transitions with animations and vice versa. It is important
to remember that they are completely different things. While animation gives you the
ability to animate elements within your slide, transitions give you the ability to change
how slides change from one to another. This can have a significant impact on a slide’s
first impressions.
Some of the most notable transitions are:
Cut
Reveal
Shapes
Uncover
Wipe
Other options include the ability to set the speed of your transition, change the
dynamic of the transition, and much more.
When using transitions, you can alter the entire feel of a presentation without changing
its theme.

7. 4. Images
Sometimes an image can say a thousand words.
With that in mind, it is easy to understand why
adding images to your presentation can help you
say more than you could while using words.
When it comes to adding images, there are two
main ways of doing this. You could either add an
image via your PC or you can embed an image
from somewhere else on the internet. Whatever
best suits you, PowerPoint has you covered.

8. 5. Videos
Videos can be easily added from the storage on your PC.
This might make the size of your presentation quite large.
So, you might want to double-check the size of the video
before inserting it into your presentation.
You can easily add videos to your presentation from
Youtube.
So, if you don’t have the video on your PC and you cannot
find it on YouTube but you know where it is on another website,
all you need to do is get the embed code for that video. This
can often be done just by right-clicking on the video, copying
the embed code, and then you can embed it into your
presentation.

9. 6. Video Editing (Basic)
Again, what if you upload a video to your
PowerPoint presentation but you don’t want
to show the whole video. maybe you just
want to show some parts or cut some pieces
out.
PowerPoint does allow you to trim the video,
cut portions of a video out, and finally add
sound. It is a basic video editor.

10. 7. Export PowerPoint as Video

export entire presentations as

VIDEO format.
