How PowerPoint can be put to use in the secondary classroom.
Powerpoints are widely used in school these days, and for good reason. Maths teacher Cath Smithies explains how her department pool their powerpoint resources into a bank, enabling any member of staff to adapt and use another colleagues powerpoint as they need. This saves Cath huge amounts of time as it means she?s not starting from scratch. She also utilises Maths websites to download powerpoint resources, again meaning she?s not spending time making her won from scratch. Over in the English department, teacher Conor Rodgers uses interactive powerpoints with voting pads to spice up his classes. Pupils are able to vote on a variety of topics using a small pad. The data is instantly collected and transferred to a powerpoint which shows the results of the vote. This gives Conor instant feedback, enabling him to quickly assess the understanding and learning of pupils.

I agree, definitely useful if teaching the same topic to several groups. I liked the interaction when the children voted. Will try and incorporate that myself.
A nice look about how to use power points to engage learners.
Lifts a dull subject.
