I'm back with new a topic to be discussed today. Hope you guys will enjoy reading it!
WHAT IS POWER POINT ? HAVE YOU GUYS USED POWER POINT BEFORE THIS FOR YOUR TEACHING AND LEARNING?
I'm here today to share some rules of using PowerPoint effectively for teaching and learning. First of all, let me tell you what is PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a complete presentation graphics package. It gives you everything you need to produce a professional-looking presentation. PowerPoint offers word processing, outlining, drawing, graphing, and presentation management tools- all designed to be easy to use and learn.
RULES TO EFFECTIVE USE OF POWERPOINT FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
❶ MORE IMAGES LESS TEXTS
- Heavy word slides can be difficult to read from the back of the room.
- People can only listen and read at the same time for a very short period.
- The presenter will be out of sync if the audience decided not to read the slide and just end up with listening to the talk.
❷ ASK YOURSELF IS THAT YOUR PRESENTATION WORKING WITH YOU OR AGAINST YOU ?
- Images are nice to look at,
engaging, enriching and can support your story
- People can look at images
and listen to u speak at the same time, no problem
- But most importantly, images
help people learn
- Learning is improved when
narration occurs simultaneously with relevant images.
❸ MAKE THE MOST OF IMAGES BY HAVING IT AS LARGE AS YOU CAN
- This will attract audience attention
❹ MAKE ONE POINT PER SLIDE
- It is better to have many
slides in which each slide contains one points
- Allows audience to digest
- Important messages with
different colours
❺ AVOID USING BULLET POINTS
- It causes all sorts of
problems
- You tend to read all the
point aloud
- There is no point to write
the points on slide if you're going to say the same thing
❻ KEEP THE SLIDES SIMPLE
- Do not use too much of
transitions, animation, and templates
- Just focus on what you are
going to present.
❼ CHOOSE READABLE FONTS AND COLOURS
- Do not use light colour for fonts if the background colour is very bright
❽ DISTRIBUTE YOUR HANDOUTS
- Makes audience life easier
- If they cannot see the slides, they can refer to the handouts given to them
That's for today 😃😃

ReplyDeleteThere are also other technology teaching aids that teachers can use for their teaching and learning, such as course management tools. For example, Canvas. It allows educators to organize all the resources students need fro a class such as syllabus, assignments, readings,and online quizzes provides a valuable grading tools, and create spaces for discussion, document sharing, and video and audio commentary.
