 * Using PowerPoint to Facilitate Student Learning **
 * Teachers can be ‘trapped’ by an indiscriminate use of PowerPoint in their teaching, leading to glib and ‘pointless’ presentations rather than compelling ones that actively engage the learners.

This session looks at some common problems in the use of PowerPoint in teaching, and explores how the presentation tool can be used effectively to engage students in active learning. ||

Microsoft Office PowerPoint is a ubiquitous presentation program. As in most other presentation software, text, graphics, movies, and other objects are positioned on individual pages or "slides". Slides can be printed, or (more usually) displayed on-screen and navigated through at the command of the presenter. Transitions between slides can be animated in a variety of ways, as can the emergence of elements on a slide itself. The overall design of a presentation can be controlled with a master slide; and the overall structure, extending to the text on each slide, can be edited using a primitive outliner. Presentations can be saved and run in any of the file formats : the default .ppt (presentation), .pot (template) or .pps (PowerPoint Show).
