Is Power Point used well? And would you use it for teaching the students?

I think that Power Point depends on the speaker how well she/he represents the presentation. Some of the people know how to use the Power Point but some of the others they do not really know the use of Power Point. A lot of speakers do not concern about their talk instead they spend more time to decorate Power Point. It is sometimes true that audience like Power Point if they are made in a funny and interested way. However, the listeners get bored about the topic that is presented if the speaker reads off the whole Power Point instead of explaining them. It is also true that a lot of speakers waste time for reading the whole Power Point. If there is too many information or slides then the audience gets bored easily. The good speakers do not really look at their Power Point and instead of it they explain what is written on Power Point and tells just short but interesting information. If I am a teacher then I would also use Power Point to make the children do not get bored and will let them time to finish their writing. I would also try to explain what I wrote on Power Point so the children do not copy just without understanding what is written on the slides. However, I will try that I do not always use Power Point to teach the children because it is boring if you use always the same material. I think it is also good to let the children create their own Power Point but I will not let them to spend on time to decorate Power Point because in my opinion the content is more important then how the slides look like. If I use Power Point to teach the children then I will also highlight all the important things that children should know. I will also have a handout for each student so he/she has the plan to have the information about what we are going to learn about.

I strongly agree with people wasting their time to make their PowerPoint presentation look super-pretty, instead of having good information to present to the class. However, it is true that audience will eventually get bored of the presentation if they reader simply reads off all his slides & doesn't exactly explain to the class about the slide. Instead, the reader will just go to the next slide & read off. I agree that when you are presenting & the kids are suppose to take notes, that you should leave some time for them to write down what are on the PowerPoint slides.

I also agree with you in some ways. It is true that a good PowerPoint presentation depends on the person presenting. But, even if that person is funny and interesting, what if they still read the bullet points off the slides? Don't people get bored that way too? Do you like it when teachers just read the points off the slide?
