PowerPoint 2007

Agenda and Objectives

What is PowerPoint? PowerPoint is a software package typically used to enhance oral presentations with slides designed to deliver bullet points of information, draw your audience's attention to visual components, and share charts and graphs on a large scale for ease of viewing and discussion.

PowerPoint takes a graphical approach to presentations and allows the creators of the slide shows to customize the program to fit their specific needs by selecting slide layouts, designs, and color schemes, as well as fonts, and images. Users can also add video and audio components to their PowerPoint presentations. Why Use PowerPoint? PowerPoint presentations can enhance the effectiveness of of classroom instruction in many ways:


 * Main points can be emphasized and enhanced by using graphics, animation, or sound.
 * Bullets and transitions, along with animated effects, will keep your students' attention where it should be
 * Text on PowerPoint slides is much easier to read and can be beneficial for students with visual impairments.
 * Information presented on slides can be easily accessed for students who missed information or were not present for class ensuring continuity of information delivery.
