Powerpoint

What?
At the moment, we are learning how to create an instructive process for a powerpoint presentation. To complete this assignment, we are collaborating in our content area groups to pull in ideas from our entire group.

So what?
As an educator, if I can learn how to make solid instructions to help guide my students, then my students will come away knowing what to do. the worst is when a student is confused, because you as an educator was confusing when you gave them the instructions. By learning how to create instructions that are organized and clear, you will be a benefit to your students so that your students can be become more effective learners. Also, as far as my colleagues are concerned, by being a more organized educators, I will be a more effective educator for the department that I am in and for my school.

Now What?
Powerpoints are very beneficial in education. It helps visualize what they are learning. It also helps them learn digitally. By creating and making powerpoints, the students stay engaged with the lesson and retain the information, more so than they would if they were just listening to the teacher talk all day long.


Video Reflection
How NOT to use Powerpoint
This was a humorous, but yet very insightful video on how not to make a powerpoint presentation. When you are making a powerpoint, remember that you want people to remember what you are presenting. You don't want them to leave thinking about how confusing the presentation was. Because that is all they will get from it. Though, if your slides are simple and informative, than your audience will remember what they learned and walk away thinking about how great your presentation was.
