I have used powerpoint many times for projects, but there were still things that I did not know about it. I am glad that we were able to learn some more about powerpoint. Anytime my teachers used powerpoint in class it was always a lecture. I see no point in paying attention to the teacher if they have the powerpoint up if its not interactive. Some of my teachers will put the powerpoint slides up online and then I really do not see the point in listening or writing the notes down. I really think if people are going to use powerpoint it needs to be interactive to keep the children engrossed in the presentation.
I agree with that. Alot of the ed professors post their powerpoints online. I print them off, set them infront of me, and do homework for other classes. I dont feel a need to write things down if its provided for me. But, I have stopped printing them out because I learned that if I write down the slides instead of reading the PPTs, I retain the information better.
