Description: PowerPoint is an integrated presentations package for creating presentation slides, outlining a talk, generating speaker notes, and audience handouts.
Level: Suitable for all ages
Purpose: Students will synthesize information and get feedback through the presentation of their ideas and findings to an audience.
Presentations require an audience, and audiences always evaluate the message. The use of PowerPoint helps students to think critically, analyze content, synthesize existing ideas and come up with new information. The program can be used to extract knowledge into an outline, isolating only the most important details. Students who can take good notes, write outlines and evaluate their ideas and the ideas of others will gain valuable higher learning skills.
