PowerPoint: A Great Tool for the Classroom...(A)

As I searched databases for something significant to post...I came across an article on PowerPoint on the Education World website. The article, "PowerPoint--Creating Classroom Presentations" by Linda Starr briefly covers the gist of the software program such as what its uses are and how one can obtain the program. The article also describe the many uses of the program and why PowerPoint is just a perfect tool for the classroom. Linda Starr rants and raves about this programs uses and the ease of using it; she highly recommends it to any age group.
I picked this article to post because right now we are working with the PowerPoint program in class. We are making an interactive quiz along with a story book all using the PowerPoint program. There really are so many interesting projects we could use this program for as teachers in the future. I enjoy this program and I would recommend it to people because it is fairly simple to learn to use and can create beautiful finished products. PowerPoint will definitely be used in my future classroom!
