Power Point
When it comes to the argument of whether or not PowerPoint is good for our students I would definitely have to say the good outweighs the bad. I had never really thought in depth about the topic until now, but now that I have I realized that I am one of those students who benefit greatly from Power Point. I have always struggled with taking good notes and especially in college. Sometimes it felt like a guessing game of what I should write vs. not write. With the Power Point slides it is almost like guided note taking and when it is time for the test a great study guide.
As an educator I think that you must be creative and have strong organizational skills in order for the use of power point to be beneficial. I feel if power point is used properly it is a great way to reach all different learning styles.
