Grade 3 PowerPoint Presentations – 1st Quarter

>>>Good reasons to use PowerPoint.

Why should you consider using PowerPoint for your teaching and learning activities? There are many reasons but the key ones include:

• Appropriate use of PowerPoint can enhance the teaching and learning experience for both teacher and students
• It provides encouragement and support to teacher by facilitating the structuring of a presentation in a professional manner.
• By careful mixing of media, a presentation can appeal to a number of different learning styles and be made more stimulating
• The electronic file format allows distribution and modification for/by students unable to be present or who have impaired visual or auditory difficulties
• Editing of each PowerPoint file is very easy with minimal associated reprinting costs. This ease and potential immediacy of revision facilitates reflection upon, and evolution of, teaching materials by teacher whilst minimising the consequences of any revision in terms of either workload or time.
• The portability of the files, especially on USB with their large capacity, allows presentations to be given wherever the technology is available or distributed where appropriate. Presentations can also be set up to run automatically if required e.g. as demonstrations/instructions.<<<
