Some authors warns about the massive use of PowerPoint at classes, which is causing that students cannot participate, feel bored and cuts comunication between teacher and tem, causing even a decline of critical thinking of students. The question is really to use it properly, or go back to spoken dissertations. What do you think?
My personal experience guids me towards using multiple methods and techniques while teaching. Power Poing is an extremely time-efficient tool, but it shouldn’t be the only source of input and the slides could contain tasks for pairwork, groupwork, individual work, that could be later compared to further input on slides and thus generate a whole-class discussion. I would exploit it as much as possible, because with the advance of technology, most of the students are likely to be visual learners, some of them even incapable of writing in pen anymore. Their ability to search for the key information in a spoken monologue and the speed of writing or typing things down has declined considerably. I try to integrate it in an interactive course.
power point helps teachers to convey their knowledge to students in a way. If it becomes a routine every time, it becomes boring for students. It should not be the only teaching tool for my experiences. Classroom exercises, films, external experts speeches help to improve teaching as well as students' own explanations and discussions are very useful.
Off Course not.
In my opinion students feel attractive during powerpoint lecture. As you can see due to traditional lecture system students become monotonous and feel bored. But when they saw picture or coloured text they have got attracted. But a teacher should use multiple system. He should teach both in formal and powerpoint system in different times. Because human minds want various taste. In this way, student won't feel bored and also formal lecture education is going on.
