Interactive Lecture and Power Point Presentation

As we go forward we find new and informative material for teaching. This week was relax but interesting we had interactive lecture and Power Point Presentation which are going to be very useful for the teaching. I read about both the interactive lectures and Power Point I chose the Power Point to work on. The interactive Power Point Presentation has valuable benefits. 

There are always some factors which try to push us near success and when find them in our routes we get to the summit of success. I am pointing towards the methods and material we get during this course I am really fond of them now I feel every week an emerging steps in my teaching career. I have read the instructions of an effective interactive lecture and power point I found both of them very much interesting and valuable. I chose the power point discussion to post about. The instructions are though simple but are outstanding.  The ABCD objectives really play a vital role in the preparation of PPT presentation.

Following are main points of interactive Power Point which differentiate it from the standard Power Point;

·         Think about goals and purpose of handouts.

·         Minimize the number of slides.

·         Don't parrot PowerPoint.

·         Hold up your end.

·         Time your talk.

·         Give it a rest.

·         Make it interactive.

·         Mix up the media.

·         Hide your pointer.

·         Rehearse before presenting.

We can simply set up the interactive power point presentation in our class by following the aforementioned steps. Adding/mixing media to the PPT presentation makes it interactive and interesting. Parroting the Power Point is very common which creates negative impact on the audience so it should avoided as much as possible and another important thing is rehearsing before presentation because it’s very necessary for an effective lecture.

Power Point Presentation is a useful tool for addressing or presenting/sharing ideas and knowledge to the targeted audience. We can make it more affective by making it audience center presentation, like we engage the audience by asking them questions during the presentation, by adding attractive and informative images to the presentation or by providing them handouts that the do not worry to note down the concerned information during the presentation. Another thing which can make it more interactive the presenter should carry the audience along with him himself by adding some interesting extra information in the presentation that the audience don’t get tired and go along with him. There are some other techniques as well to make it effective, interesting and interactive which can be found online and in books.

I have selected the video conference tool for the improvement of my students’ confidence. I couldn’t implement it now because we had off our classes for few days because of Election here our country. I have suggested the students to access the internet for some activities I conduct in my class for the students’ confidence improvement. Each student has to bring one joke, new English word, general knowledge information and Traditions of our religion. It helps them to raise their confidence level, improve the knowledge, know own tradition like PBL and improve the vocabulary.
