PowerPoint Presentations

From the classroom to the office, PowerPoint is a great learning tool and presentation format. There are however many ways to create a poor PowerPoint presentation that would detract from its helpfulness. for example, over-active graphics such as moving letters take away from a good presentation. also, loud sound effects and overly cluttered slides make a presentation difficult to understand. Each slide should not be full of information, but rather it should include key points. The speaker should not read directly from the slide because the information on each slide should be elaborated on in discussion.

I have found PowerPoint to be very useful in my schooling. I have used this program to give presentations on book reports, and research analysis, and even to study for tests. for my art history test this year I created a slide show of important works of art that I needed to study. For personal use, I created a slide show of pictures and music for my grandparents 50th anniversary party. PowerPoint is great because it can be used in a variety of ways.
