We use Power Point to teach many information technology and library skills
lessons. We have no chalkboard or whiteboard, so the Destination computer
is the best display I have. And a visual lesson helps focus the students,
so we use Power Point Jeopardy, Millionaire and slide shows to introduce
and reinforce lessons.

I have made a Power Point on using the Big 6. I love using PP to introduce
skills. Kids like to watch them --versus you talking in front of
them-----just so much more powerful.
***
I created a short, simple PP presentation to explain to my 2nd graders the
concepts of title, author, and subject. Then I "shifted" our patron
catalog page onto the screen to show them how to use these terms to search
our catalog.
***
I use Powerpoint to introduce intro lit. concepts to 5-8th graders. For
instance, I have a ppt presentation to introduce plagiarism and then we do
a project on paraphrasing, summarizing, etc.
This is followed, of course, by hands-on activities which are taught in a
computer lab. I introduce most of my research skills lessons with a ppt
presentation, using imbedded links for websites I want to show the kids. I
have ppt's on Presentation Skills, Search Strategies, Reference Resources,
and Evaluation of Sources. I don't spend a lot of time "jazzing up" the
ppt's - I just use them as a tool to easily screen the main points of the
lesson and provide easy links to important sites.

Since purchasing an lcd projector this past year, both the guidance counselor
and myself are trying to use more PowerPoint shows. We are a mostly low-
income school, so many of our students are not familiar with the program. I
prepared a slideshow to use when presenting the Big6 method to my 4th and 5th
grade students this year, and it went very well. Hopefully, I'll be able to
incorporate more next year.
