These are a very good means of communication in a lesson. They are able to be simply modified to be used over and over when teaching the same lesson to different classes. Though features such as hyperlinks can be difficult to set up they form a good independent learning area that children can view, with certain linked websites that have been previously selected by the teacher.

Points of why PowerPoints are good for teaching:

• Text is easily readible unlike text written on whiteboards or on OHP’s
• Captures students interest by having a range of text, pictures, videos and links.
• You can add animated slide transitions which gain attenetion.
• Specific parts of importance and be emphasised.
