Assignment #1: Powerpoint is/not Evil....

The program Power Point is a worldwide known program. Everyone Edward says that computer programs for presentations is everywhere. It is used in corporate America, government bureaucracies, and also at school. Children are being taught how to formulate client pitches and infomercials instead of teaching them how to write reports using sentences. It is better if students just learned how to write essays and doing reports instead of learning how to use PowerPoint. When Powerpoint is used for a present like for example talking about business. When there is too much information given from the powerpoint with less time, it is hard to understand what the speaker is talking about. By using visual things for presenting something like pictures, charts, and tables helps the audience to understand what the presenter is talking about. But of course, the pictures must go along with the topic because it will be just useless. Presentations should not harm if you do everything by not making your audience bored and also distracted. Tom Rocklin says it is not best if a teacher concentrates more on his powerpoint presentation than his/her students' learning. But he says that he has no doubt about Powerpoint even encourage and support bad teachings. It is way easier to use technology because than you can just type everything instead of using ink and paper and write everything out. It is also easier to hand quizes instead writing them on the board. Using Powerpoint and many other programs can be very useful in some ways. But many might say it is not it just depends on people how they use the technology.
