Powerpoint presentations are a way of life for most people, powerpoint presentations are used throughout so many industries. I myself having been learning and getting trained using this teaching method for many years now. I do QCAN Workshops on a regular basis and they use this teaching technique, First Aid training, Lectures and thats just to name a few. Powerpoint is a very easy program to learn, very easy for children to operate. My child has been using Powerpoint at school for quite a number of years now and she is now in Grade 7 and very competent with the program. I have used Powerpoint to create an E-Book called "Fun at After School Care". I wrote the sample book. I used my own voice to narrate the story. I also used sound effects throughout the presentation to keep the children engaged and excited to listen. This is a great idea for the children as they can create their own story, each child could write and illustrate a page each, the children could read their page and use their voice to narrate their part of the story, but we would need to get Media consents from parents. I have managed to put this onto my Blog using Slideshare, but haven't been successful with the audio that's attached to it I am sorry. I have also used Powerpoint to create activities for the children. Some activities are:- > My Number Story > How many animals can you see? > The Letter Q Powerpoint is such an effective tool to help create education more fun and helps to get the children involved in their learning. Instead of sitting with paper and a pencil, we can create a much more workable and exciting environment to keep these children engaged and interacting.
I use Powerpoint at my service to store photos, music and activities for the learners and at the end of the year I put them onto a CD for their parent's as a keep sake.
