Catering Information using PowerPoint Presentation

In this 21st century, ICT covers almost all the places in the teaching and learning environment. After
joining this college I learned many significant things which are critical for my day to day activities. More prominently, I found integrating ICT in teaching and learning plays a vital role not only to make our work easier but also to get more know-how which is critical for our ongoing career. Using ICT in teaching can be able to cater to the information to all kinds of learners. Among many topics, the most useful one that I learned is designing a slide presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint that can be a highly effective tool to aid learning.




As we all know that Microsoft PowerPoint allows us to create an electronic presentation of slides. As a user, to have an effective presentation I can use multimedia that can help to improve audiences focus such as texts, photos, illustrations, tables, graphs, movies and songs where the audience can go through my presentation proficiently. By adding these things in my slides, I can cater to information as per their learning style since every individual learned differently. For instance, when I was in teaching practice, I met with a boy in class VI. He shared me about his learning style saying that he understands more when I taught him using videos in my presentation related to the topic.


Moreover, in Microsoft PowerPoint to have a more interesting presentation, I learned how to add animations which helps to create quiz, games, short videos or animated videos related to the topic. I learned all types of animation in PowerPoint that can be categorized into four such as entrance,emphasis, motion and path and again sub-divided further. After learning about this particular topic, it helps me in doing assignments or it helps me to have effective presentation and also it helps to have interactive teaching and learning. Additionally, PowerPoint have different types of pre-templates and layouts, in which different templates and layout help us to make beauty of presentation such as how the tittles, graphics and text will be displayed on each slide. I leaned how to edit the wordings on finished slides, delete unwanted slides, add forgotten slides and rearrange the slides in systematic manner.



Furthermore, PowerPoint is regarded as the most useful, reachable way to create and present visual aids as it is easy to create colorful, nice-looking designs using different templates and themes. I learned that I can present one slides after another by maintaining eye contact with large audience. Instead of using chalk and board to teach, if I do presentation using ICT then Microsoft PowerPoint always help us to boost the interest and grasp the attention of students. It helps teachers to decrease the workload and students to understand clearly. As a result, Microsoft PowerPoint helps for both teachers and students to have efficient teaching and learning.
