This document discusses using PowerPoint presentations in different educational levels and contexts. At the college level, including content-based questions within PowerPoint lectures improved student grades compared to traditional lectures. In high school, having students create and present PowerPoint presentations on their research helped more students complete term papers on time. Even second graders were able to teach each other how to use PowerPoint and enjoyed collaborating on slideshows. PowerPoint presentations can be effectively used across all grade levels to engage students and improve learning outcomes.

8. Technology and Teaching Does Content Based Questions (CBQ’s) during a PowerPoint lecture improve students grades compared to a traditional lecture on PowerPoint? Gier and Kreiner wanted to know the answer to this question, so they conducted two different studies to find out. The first study they used 73 undergraduate psychology students that were enrolled in two different cognitive psychology courses, meeting 150 minutes a week. There were thirty-two students in the traditional class and 41 in the CBQ class. They both received the same lectures; the only difference was that one class received Content based questions during the lecture; they answered them; and then discussed them together immediately. In the second experiment the instructor used presentations with CBQ’s for two quarters of the semester and traditional presentations for the other 2 quarters; there were 36 students who participated in this study.
