  POWERPOINT
   AS A PRESENTATION TOOL

                  PREPARED BY: VIANCA TRIZ C. CABALLERO

WHAT IS POWERPOINT?
• Microsoft PowerPoint, usually just called PowerPoint, is a
  commercial presentation program developed by Microsoft.
  PowerPoint uses a graphical approach to presentations in
  the form of slide shows that accompany the oral delivery of
  the topic.
WHAT IS POWERPOINT?
• PowerPoint and similar slide show presentation
  programs provide an effective approach to both
  student work and classroom instruction. It effectively
  prepares students for the world in which they will
  work as adults. Using PowerPoint and slide shows to
  teach offers benefits, as well. Technology surrounds
  students. To reach them, teachers must use the
  language they understand: technology.
BENEFITS OF POWERPOINT
Interaction and Engagement
• PowerPoint and slide presentations hold student
  attention through the use of video, graphics and
  music. Because students today are so
  technologically advanced, tools that involve
  technology such as slide shows increase student
  involvement and interaction.
Ability to Capitalize on Modern Media

• The Internet provides current events coverage and
  the latest information on an enormous number of
  topics. Slide show tools allow you to incorporate
  text, video, audio and photos from the Internet
  easily, allowing you to share the most recent
  information using media that engage students.
Integration of Multiple Sources
• Using PowerPoint and slide shows, you can
  integrate multiple sources in your classroom
  presentations. For example, you easily can
  incorporate photos of student work, video from a
  field trip, related content from news sources and
  the latest expert research into a single presentation.
Availability of Instruction
• Rather than handing absentee students written
  notes of a lesson they missed, you can replay your
  lesson or presentation using a slide show. Absent
  students receive the same instruction as those who
  are present, so they do not fall behind.
Cooperation and Collaboration
• Teachers can share lessons and presentations
  simply using a file-sharing system or flash drive.
  Teachers can share the workload of creating
  presentations. Furthermore, a student seeing more
  than one teacher's presentations is exposed to more
  than one point of view.
Summarize Detailed Reports
• PowerPoint presentations capture the essence and
  summarize key points of highly detailed
  reports, surveys and studies on any subject or
  domain.
Educational Value
• PowerPoint presentations are used by professors
  and teachers to add value to their lectures and
  notes.
Sales Presentations
• Sales professionals regularly use compelling
  PowerPoint presentations comprising of data and
  informative content to inform, educate and enthuse
  different user audiences about products and
  services.
Effective Visual Tool
• The visual imagery made possible by juggling
  various PowerPoint combinations, design templates
  and other tools is used by speakers to add value to
  speeches and presentations and engage audiences
  via projector screens during conferences, seminars
  and symposiums.
REASONS TO USE
 POWERPOINT
Appropriate use of PowerPoint can enhance the
teaching and learning experience for both staff and
students
It provides encouragement and support to staff by
facilitating the structuring of a presentation in a
professional manner
By careful mixing of media, a presentation can
appeal to a number of different learning styles and
be made more stimulating.
The electronic file format allows distribution and
modification for/by students unable to be present
or who have impaired visual or auditory
difficulties.
The portability of the files, especially on compact
disks (CDs) with their large capacity, allows
presentations to be given wherever the technology
is available or distributed where appropriate.
Presentations can also be set up to run
automatically if required e.g. as
demonstrations/instructions within a laboratory
That’s all folks. :)
