1. PowerPoint in the Classroom:
The Magic Bullet?
Sandy Morris

2. • Use PowerPoint because you have it and it is a
program that students can learn to easily use.
• You can use all sorts of neat multimedia with
powerpoint including
audio, video, animations, graphics, tutorials, r
ecordings and other goodies.
• Teachers use it to present information to
students and they can take notes too.

3. • Everyday I use PowerPoint to give instructions
and tell stories to students that model the
motivating use of multimedia. I show them
what to do and how to do it.
• With PowerPoint I can create materials at
home and and then use them over and over
again each year.

4. • Students like to use powerpoint
because it gives them a sense of
accomplishment to use it for their own
assignments and presentations
• They can add videos and graphics and
sounds and create animations that
demonstrate what they are thinking.
• They can learn to speak in front of the
class
