APPLYING POWER POINT IN SPEAKING CLASS

Nowadays, thanks to the development of high technology, using power point in teaching is encouraged to adopt to schools. That is the reason why in this second semester, our speaking teacher divides our class into seven groups and requires each group to present one part of lessons in turn in front of class .



Using power point is useful in many respects:

With only textbooks, the lessons become very monotonous. In contrast, using power point makes our lessons more vivid by adding video, pictures, and even sounds, which can draw students' attraction easily and reduce their stress when they have to study for a long time. Futhermore, when explaining the lessons by using this program, you show your professional style and self-confidence. It is really necessary for you- a English teacher in some day.


To adopt this program effectively, it is certain that you need to spend a lot of time searching for many kinds of materials, or even take a computer course. As a result, you have a chance of getting accustomed to modern technology. This is extremely useful, as in the future, power point is potentially popular.

Next Wednesday, we are going to present our speaking lessons by using powerpoint program. With its advantages, in my point of view, the atmosphere of that day will be very exciting. Each group will make a great effort to design their lessons. It means that they have to spend time finding information, sounds and pictures as many as possible to illustrate their explanation, which makes each lesson more interesting. Moreover, using powerpoint, students don't spend much time chalking on the board. Therefore, there is more time for practise speaking or other activities instead.

With powerpoint, we can design the lessons into specific sections. So, you can present knowledge on screen step by step, which helps students summarize main ideas more easily and more quickly. Besides, adopting this program, you can also create many exercises to review and check how many percentages of lessons students catch on. For instance, with speaking lessons, we can give students many function exercises to practise. This enables them to memorize longer.

In short, power point is really useful for both teachers and pedagogic students. Therefore, we hope to have many chances of using power point in presentation.

With interesting things powerpont brings, we are really looking for presenting by applying this program on next Wednesday.

Frankly speaking, although this is not the first time I have to present in front of the class with power point program, I'm a little worried about the presentation next week T__T

Studying in university, we do not have enough time and enough chances to meet each other or discuss the project with each other. Cuz we come to class at 6.30 and leave at 11.30, after that, almost all of us has to go home and prepare for lunch. What's more, not all of us has a computer at home so it's very difficult to unify or edit our project. Then, although we have tried our best to finish this, i still feel worried T__T

Anyway, generally speaking, your entry is great ^^ It helps us to understand more the reason why we need to get used to technology and it also gives us some very useful information and advice ^^

Thanks ^^

ps: Would you mind going to our blog to view some of our new entries and share your own ideas with us there? ^^ thanks heheeh

Well, I think that PowerPOint is really a strong and powerfull program in teaching method. It helps us to present our lesson in a most effective and lively way. However, unfortunately, ther are still not many teachers using this tool in my home town. I'm hoping that one day I can see this program be widely used in every school in my home town. [Mr violence]

I THINK IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO MASTER HIGH TECHNOLOGY ESPECIALLY POWER POINT BECAUSE MODERN LIFE REQUIRES US KNOW MORE ABOUT COMPUTER . ESPECIALLY IN THE FUTURE WE WILL BECOME TEACHER,POWER POINT WILL BE USEFUL METHOD WHICH SERVICES FOR OUR TEACHING. HOWEVER, I THINK IT'S DIFFICULT FOR US. BEACAUSE IF WE HAVEN'T LEARN ABOUT IT YET,IT TAKES US A LOT OF TIME TO LEARN ABOUT AND APPLY IT PERFECTLY. ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR TEACHERS REQUIRES US TO PRESENT OUR LESSONS BY POWER POINT.IN OTHER HAND,IT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR US LATER THAT. SO,WE SHOULD GET ACQUAINTED WITH IN FROM NOW.

This is the first time I manage to enter your blog, I don't know what was wrong. Thanks miss Moon for telling me the way to enter your blog.
In my opinion, pp is very useful. But I have some problems because I learned it myself, nobody teach me. There's something I don't know, I think I'll try to learn, may be from my friends. Anyway, your entry is good ^_^ & it's really useful, especially to me ^^. Thanks
