2. PowerPoint
• PowerPoint allows us to create a digital slide show that we can use as a visual
aid while addressing a group about virtually any topic.
• Although most commonly used within schools and business meetings,
PowerPoint can be a very handy tool to help engage an audience wherever a
person has access to a computer and a projection screen.
3. The PowerPoint Plusses
• Extremely simple to use
• Allows whoever is presenting control over the speed of their slides
• Enables simple but effective text use to engage a wide audience
• Can be embedded with various multimedia (videos, hyperlinks etc)
4. The PowerPoint Minuses
• Has been so popular that it is almost cliché and can therefore struggle in
engaging an audience for long periods of time.
• Does not allow a lot of interaction directly from the audience
• Can essentially become a glorified whiteboard when used ineffectively
5. The Interesting side of PowerPoint
• Can now be used as PowerPoint Online, enabling a much more interactive
experience through the embedding of websites, blogs, wikis
• Is the once “cliché” PowerPoint adapting?
