I have to say that I love making power points! However, I did find it hard not to include transitions because I have been taught over and over to use them in my presentations. When I started planning what I was going to include in my
PowerPoint I found that it was boring and not the direction I wanted to go with the presentation. Instead of educating you I would have put you to sleep, so I changed a little bit of my format to encompass a common misconception about Architecture. Having an architecture background and a love for education, I feel that the two can work together through ideas and concepts. Like architecture that is the essence of life and an idea that fixes a need, teachers can do the same thing. If a teacher understands the students then the teacher can creatively come up with a new strategy to evoke the students to learn. This would fall under Standard 3: Teaching (Function 3F: Flexibility and Responsiveness). Power Points can be very powerful in the classroom by allowing students to interact and ask questions in a way other than on the board (Standard 3: Function 3A: Importance of Content and Function 3C: Questioning and Discussion Techniques). They can also be used in presentations to the board, parents, faculty, and staff as a different approach to reach out and to allow yourself to demonstrate your ideas, thoughts, and class activities.
