Powerpoint Presentations


Microsoft PowerPoint is somewhat simple to use, and that is one of the reasons it can be so beneficial to teaching, the simplicity of it is one of its biggest selling points, the ability to go from nothing to a presentable piece of work in a short amount of time is definitely one of its best points.


Talking about using PowerPoint in teaching art and design may seem like it is not that much of a helpful teaching tool.  Using PowerPoint to show multiple images, which have been sourced from multiple different sources like online, books, photographs and others, but compared to holding up multiple materials it is one of the most helpful tools available.

Using PowerPoint was a big part of completion of projects in university for me, each time a project was coming to a close we were given the task of presenting our work to the group for peer assessment and to build our skills at talking in front of people.  It was up to you whether you wanted to hold up your books and final pieces of work or make a presentation.  The ease of doing a presentation with a PowerPoint built showcasing your work was not only more professional but it made the whole experience of talking in front of a group a million times less stressful.
