Powerful Power Point

I remember having a group project assigned to me in high school, and my fellow group members wanted to use powerpoint to present our presentaion. I didn't know what it was, much less how to use it. I did however, feel very tech savy once I learned I could make the text and color whatever I wanted and could make them enter the slide in fun ways such as flying or zooming.

Now that powerpoint is more popular and used is most of my classes, I find it very useful. When A professor is lecturing and I find myself zoning out, I find it very useful to gaze up at the friendly powerpoint outline to catch myself up and rejoin their train of thought.

Powerpoint is also very useful for people who are more visual learners than audio. All the pictures, diagrams, graphs, or other visuals on the slides also help explain points that sometimes words can't do on their own.
