Using Powerpoint as a Tool for Teaching

I used to be a management consultant, so I used to create Powerpoint slides every day, and I once thought the only tangible skill I had was creating slide presentations! That might not seem like a great skill to have, but I will argue that Powerpoint is a powerful tool for communication when used appropriately. I am realizing now as well that Powerpoint can be a great tool for teaching. Our teachers create Powerpoint presentations to teach all of their classes online, and email the presentations to students after every class for reference. The presentations help keep our classes organized in a logical fashion, provide visual stimuli for visual learners, and help our teachers communicate their teaching points in deeper ways that cannot be achieved with simple oral instruction. Online we have the benefit of using Powerpoint and the whiteboarding functionality in WizIQ as a powerful combination. Here’s an example of the Powerpoints that we use. This is from our Survival Chinese teaching series.
