- 3. Educational Setting Advantages • PowerPoint's ability to integrate sound, animation and video in a slide show can capture the attention of media and video- savvy students. Text in a PowerPoint is easier to read than notes jotted on a blackboard. Teachers can have greater flexibility in presenting lessons, which can be used repeatedly and modified as needed to different classes
- 4. Time Saving and Ease of Use • If you were to create a slide presentation with old- school visual aids such as chalkboards, overhead projectors or hand-drawn illustrations, it would be time consuming. PowerPoint's user-friendly functions can create slides in quick order for those who might not be creatively-inclined or who might not have even considered using visual aids in the past. Professionally-designed templates also save time by providing the initial "bones" of the slide show. Simply add text, graphics, forms or documents, plus a company logo, if desired and your PowerPoint presentation will have a cohesive look throughout.
- 5. Dissemination of Information and Sharing • PowerPoint has the ability to create a handout version of your slide presentation. Your print options are full-size slides or multiple pages on a page. This allows the audience to retain a hard copy of your information and draw upon it for future reference.
- 6. • Engaging multiple learning styles • Increasing visual impact • Improving audience focus • Providing annotations and highlights • Analyzing and synthesizing complexities • Enriching curriculum with interdisciplinarity • Increasing spontaneity and interactivity • Increasing wonder
- 7. Lecture outline • PowerPoint can be an effective means for communicating the structure of your lesson. Use the first or second slide to give students an overview of the main points to be discussed. Then insert transition slides that cue students when you are moving to the next point in your lecture outline. This will help them follow a long lecture and stay focused.
- 8. Note-taking aid for students • Make a slide with key words and terms missing. After discussing the missing information with the class, advance the PowerPoint show to a slide with the missing information filled in. This technique will help communicate to your students what information is noteworthy as well as engage them actively in the presentation.

- 13. Appearance: Less is more • Keep the appearance of your slides simple. Consider the two slides in Example 3 as a visual catalogue of dos and don’ts in PowerPoint slide design.
- 14. • Background: Use a plain, neutral background. Patterned or photographic backgrounds can be distracting. Backgrounds with severe changes in contrast can make the text hard to read. • Content: Avoid information overload. – Keep text and graphics to a minimum. – Avoid clip art. – Leave space around text and graphics; don’t overlap. – Use the slide to focus the students’ attention and leave the details to lectures and textbooks. If you need to put more information, make a new slide. – Don’t include irrelevant information.
- 15. • Font: Choose simple, easy to read fonts in either black, for light backgrounds, or white, for dark backgrounds. Make sure your font is large enough to read. Most fonts need to be at least 24 point in order to be legible. • Animation: If you choose to use animation, keep it simple too. “Appear” and “Fade” are the only custom animation tools you need in a lecture format.
- 16. Example 3: Complicated vs. Simple Appearance
- 17. To post or not to post • ome professors and departments have great success posting their PowerPoint documents online for students to download and review. Others have reported lower attendance and participation when students know that they will be able to get the notes online.
- 18. • Use an outline format for your PowerPoint (see “decide the role” section above). Providing the formal structure of the lesson will help focus students’ independent study without feeding them the detailed information in the lecture. • Use a fill-in-the-blank approach to your PowerPoint (see “decide the role” section above). For the online version of the PowerPoint, replace key terms or definitions with blanks. Again, this will help students focus their study or catch up on a missed class while maintaining the importance of class attendance.
- 19. • As with all things that you post online, be aware of any copyrighted information that may be embedded in your PowerPoints including images and quoted material. • Practice your PowerPoint show with the exact equipment you will use one day beforehand. This is especially important if you are using unfamiliar equipment or equipment that may be used by other people. With many classroom machines, you have no control over which settings another user may have changed. Scheduling a quick test run will give you an opportunity to discover, diagnose, and resolve any issues before the students arrive.
- 20. • Always prepare a backup plan. Assume that there will be a technological failure of some sort and be prepared to conduct class without your PowerPoint show. This may mean preparing a paper handout or developing a familiarity with your PowerPoint such that you could write the salient concepts on the board. (This is another reason to keep your PowerPoint shows simple.) Consider preparing an alternative, “rainy day” lesson that could substitute at any point in the semester. This would allow you to delay the planned lesson for another day and resolve the technological issue after class. •
