PowerPoint is a software program. Many use this program to have a visual while presenting information. A PowerPoint is made up of slides and a compilation of these slides creates a slide show through the computer. PowerPoint allows the creator of a slide show to decide how they would like their slide to look through numerous options available on the program (i.e. color, sound, layout, etc). PowerPoint presents information on any subject chosen by the teacher and can be used in a plethora of ways with language teaching (i.e. parts of speech, introducing new concepts, etc).

Teaching idea: (New Learning for me) PowerPoint is continuing to add new interactive technology. One is called Mouse Mischief; which allows teachers to create interactive presentations to engage learners. Students can actively participate in lessons by using their own mice to circle, cross out, click, or draw answers on the screen. This can be downloaded on [|www.microsoft.com].

Also, there are previously created PowerPoint’s for educators on the Microsoft website.

Rebecca Gallardo--Powerpoint can also be used to create trivia or jeopardy games in order to review vocabulary, grammar, or any other key concepts.

My idea: Ann Aquino We have used PowerPoint presentations with first grade students for their Animal Science Project. After they collect all the information needed for the project, they can work with teacher or parent volunteer to choose pictures from the web and create a simple presentation. Once it is done, we send a CD copy home with students so they can share their work with their parents. ESL students, especially, love seeing their work "on the screen"! :)

I use powerpoint for number indentification 1 through 30. I place each number on a slide and then mix the order and position of the numbers. I pick a magic number for the day. Like 5 and I will place it torward the end of the slide show. I say is this the number 5? They say "no, this is number 6." When we find the number 5 we cheer. Also sight word review
