Power point as a software tool naturally lends itself very well for presentations to
students. I would have major topics in a presentation format to use as an addition to lecture. The
presentations would also be useful to put on a web site for viewing if a students would want to review
the information or a student was absent the day of the presentation.
Power point would also be useful to present information for parents through an automatic
presentation during a parents night or put up as a web site. The presentation could also be used to
promote your class to other students and administration. In technology education we need to purchase
equipment and supplies. As a teacher you could present to administration your vision for your program
and when you would need to purchase equipment and why.
This software is very universal and used in many businesses. I think teaching the use of
power point is beneficial for every student. Even if the students never used the program again it has
similarities with other software programs. The use of importing sound, movies, clip art, pictures are a
part of most programs and follow the same process.
