PowerPoint summary

I think Power Points are usually not used correctly, but some teachers do manage to get students to understand what they are teaching. The ones who didn’t do a good job of it, is usually because they have way too much writing on their slides. The whole Power Point is really super long and we were basically read to like in story time back in kindergarten. They’re soooooo boring! The good part was that he gave us handouts of the Power Point. If I were a teacher, I’d use Power Point mainly just for showing pictures or other visuals that would help the students understand better. I’d put SOME writing, only if it’s absolutely necessary. And even if I did put writing, I’ll make sure it’s really brief and only the most important things. I’ll just tell them more details and give them a paper of the things they really need to know. Most importantly, I’d put stuff that would interest my students. Even if the subject is really boring, I’d put interesting pictures to entertain them. I think I’d be satisfied enough if they pay attention even if they fail the class. But I doubt that if it really is that interesting. It’s all about how you present your information. You want your audience NOT to fall asleep or pass out. But you want to make the fun relevant. So do not put anything too flashy and unnecessary. If the theory about brains not being able to process information when they read and say it at the same time, then I would not say exactly what is written on the screen. It’ll show how a really prepared teacher I amJ. Actually, I will not put any writing on the screen and I won’t make them read it out loud either. I’d use Power Point for teaching. Mainly because it’s there, so why not? Hopefully the school would have a projector so it’s easier to see. It’s way better than giving a lot of papers. And it’s really easy to use if you know how to work a computer. So until someone invents something better, I’ll be using Power Point!
