Interactive Powerpoint- Week 6

I usually use powerpoint in my classes. It is easy to present the objectives of the class and show video clips to students. If I prepare what I am goint to teach in the powerpoint slides,  I don't need to face toward the blackboard to write something while I am teaching. Above all, the lecture using powerpoint can attract students attentions. However, I use powerpoint to present my lecture in one way. My students simply understand the content  visually. After I read the articles about INTERACTIVE Powerpoints, I got to know many things. There are more advantages of using powerpoints than I knew . First, students can navigate more information visit websites linked to the powerpoint slide. Of course, teachers should search webpages  and find proper meterials  related to the topic in advance. Plus, students can get feedback through powerpoints. Like a quiz show, students can select category that they want to know, solve the questions and get anwers clicking the buttons. In short, I realized that powerpoints can be a powerful tool to make students autonomous learner. I will learn how to make powerpoints professionally from now on. If possible.

  1. Hi!

    "If possible" - I appreciate your honesty. At school not many things run as smoothly as we plan and these interactive powerpoints as engaging as they may be, are so time consuming... I like experimenting and knowing these things, evrything connected to technology that we can implement in the classroom fascinate me and that's why I keep trying aware that some I may never be able to use in class. Ther is a saying "Stopping is dying" and I don't want to die - at least so soon :)
