This week,we learned ways to improve our lesson plan slides via power point.I gotta admit,though its small tweaks but it makes a significant improvement on your slide show.For instance,we want to keep the slide show simple yet elegant,thus we should minimise the background design.
Secondly,we should avoid using cartoon clip parts as it gives an impression that you look at them like they are still in primary school,use real-existing images instead which they can relate to.Thirdly,we should start of the lesson with notes but instead try using a different approach,something to grab their attention,asking them to analyse a pic from the beginning of your slide show and come up with their own interpretation of what the lesson is gonna be about.This gets them thinking and you will be able to get their attention for the lesson.
The fourth way which wouldn't be significant to you but to them would be the size and font,using a font that is hard for them to read would lose their attention in class.You will need to make sure that the size is big enough for them to read but not too big that you can't fit a specific material in one page.The fifth way would be to display significant information only for your slide shows,extra materials should be in the notes.This should be applied when showing the class a workbook or a coursebook cover,crop out the insignificant information.The sixth way would be to make the slides as simple as possible,not cramming all the information in one page and making it difficult for the students to understand.
The seventh and final way to make your slides better is to use your home ground to your advantage,making your slides localised and understandable by the people in your country would make it easier for you to relate the information to them,both urban and rural areas.These are the seven ways for you to improve on your slide show,powerpoint is an important tool that can make things easier for you and for others,therefore using it can help you maximise your efficiency in teaching.Use this information well.
