Reflection 3
Powerpoint presentation
My next reflection is on Microsoft PowerPoint. This
technology is equitable in use since it can be used for a variety of reasons.
It can be used for presentations for lesson plans, projects, a visual representation,
portfolios and much more. PowerPoint meets the flexibility in use of variety of
choices with contrasting themes of PowerPoint. Each theme has a different set
of designed color options or sometimes even graphics. It also gives you choices
of which style of slides you want to add each time.
I believe the design
is simple and intuitive since it provides an easy design to follow with visible
tools to help assist you in creating your presentation. The tools are overall self-explanatory
but if you find trouble in finding a tool, we can search for it in the toolbar
the software provides. The software is designed to be of little maintenance of
making a simple presentation. This technology is computer based and therefore
does not meet the principle of size and space for approach and use.
As I look back on my presentation and the preparation that
when into it. I am amazed by the amount I’ve learned from this one small
exercise. This was my first proper presentation in a long time. Therefore I didn’t
have much practice presenting in the last few year and had to do a lot of work
preparing for it. Although there was a lot of work in preparing for this
exercise, improvements can always be made.
Before I started this exercise I really didn’t know the
amount of work that would go into a presentation. I thought I could put
together a presentation in 20 minutes and look over it once and be ready to
present it. I now know that this isn’t realistic if you want to make a good
presentation. My slide show alone took nearly an hour to decide what was going
to go into it and make it. I then had to look over it and look into things I was
going to say during each slide as the slides contained only small bullet points
that needed to be further explained. I definitely found that to make a presentation
on a topic the presenter must have an interest and a great knowledge of the
topic.
Power point is one of the effective teaching and learning tools,
it helps us to learn in our self-paced through various tools such as
assignments, computer etc. as a result the teaching and learning become more
productive and meaningful. Powerpoint allows us to create with activities such
as Flash cards, Field Trip Slideshows, Group Slideshows, students’ portfolios
etc….I have done some animation by using powerpoint for that just click on the
