Slide presentation software such as power point has become an ingrained part of instructional settings particularly in large classes and in classes that need more information exchange rather than skill development. Power point can be highly effective effective tool to aid learning, but if not used carefully may instead disengage students and actually hinder learning.
Potential benefits of using presentation includes, engaging multiple learning styles, increasing visual impacts,easy to present and maintain eye contact with large audience and easy to make it attractive and modify it. Although there are many potential to power point, there are many several issues that could create problems or disengagement, its teacher centered, lack of feedback because it tell you nothing about students learning if you didn't design them with opportunities to show feedback, in some cases theres no balance between using of images and text either its full of images or full of text which is also not good.
it's so interesting to use power-point in the class, but teachers must know how and when to use it. Personally, most of the courses i took before graduation were taught using power-point. i really didn't understand them and now i can't remember any thing about these courses.
