The author from Education World covers the reasons as listed in headings of the article: 1) Why PowerPoint, 2) Terrific Student Presentations, 3) Its Not Just for Kids, 4) Rants and Raves, 5) Use the Tutorial, and 6) Help you Students Create Projects. PowerPoint is a simple yet powerful tool in the classroom for creating engaging presentations. PowerPoint brings students research to life through this simple, yet versatile, software program. The author explains that though it is simple and easy to use for any age, it makes it possible to implement technology tools such as videos, art, graphics, and sound bites into the presentation. Initially the instructor creates engaging presentation through PowerPoint. Then to follow at a later time, the students can create their own PowerPoint presentation demonstrating what they learned from their research. PowerPoint brings learning to the whole class for spreading the information to the whole class through engaging visual presentations created by the students themselves.
