In the third week of E Learning we were taught how to use
PowerPoint's in a complete new way. Using Digital cameras and Mp3 players the students were able to create their
PowerPoint's presentation with real life images and sounds.
PowerPoint's were also used as a way to create an
authentic assessment, this is evident especially for lower primary students. In the example we were shown students had to match the noise the animals make to the picture of the animals. Since
PowerPoint's allow the author to
insert actual sounds and images students will have an authentic exam.
Advantages of PowerPoint- Fun to watch and make
- Accommodate all learners needs (visual, sound etc)
- Spell check function
- Numerous uses
- Easily shared (printing, emailing)
Disadvantages of PowerPoint
- Overuse can bore learners
- Each students requires their own computer or large screen for whole class
- Easily get lost in task
