Uses of Powerpoint

Microsoft Office is used everyday as it makes life easier to get things done instead of having to write everything down on a peice of paper. Powerpoint is one of Microsoft Office's greatest creations as it allows people to present something without loosing the audiences attention. Students can use powerpoint for show and tell to present to the class what they are wanting to show them without them getting bored and loosing their focus. It cn also be used in the classroom when present a new topic to the students. You, the teacher, can get up in front of a projection screen (if available) and present to your class pretty pictures and colours that will grasp their attention.

Below is the organisational chart I put together to organise my powerpoint and see what I need to hyperlink. This helps in the creating of a powerpoint as it structures the discussion of the powerpoint in a small, understandable format. So, the very first box in my storyboard represents what my powerpoint presentation will be about; in this case, I will be discussing sports with my class. The second row of boxes represent the subject that I will be talking about that relates to my main topic; in this case, I will be talking to my class about the different types of sports. In the third row, we outline what we will be talking about with regards to each subject. This process continues for how many sides and links that you wish to create. Before I continue, I want to let you acknowledge the fact that this type of format can not only be used for a powerpoint presentation, but for other teaching uses, such as planning each day for the advantage of being organised and not sitting there wondering what to do next while your students misbehave in the classroom.

Unfortunately, I can not upload my powerpoint presentation to this blog, but I am able to give you the link to the document I uploaded to Google Docs. This will only show you the slides and not allow you to be able to click on the links, but I'm sure you will get the idea.
