The advantages of PPT teaching: convenient and quick, without wasting time on the board. And can be combined with audio and video, etc., so that the content is richer, the scope of activities during the lecture is also increased, without having to go back and forth between the podium and the stage.
The disadvantages of PPT teaching: there must be appropriate hardware, if the projector brightness is not high, the teaching environment will be relatively dark, not conducive to the students notes, if the ppt to join the audio and video, but also need to have audio equipment. In addition, if you are teaching your own PPT, you will need to have the ability to utilize the PPT software.
Good PowerPoint courseware needs to have the following points:
PPT courseware home page to be neat
Home page is a PPT courseware waiting for the formal class before the use of a page, generally speaking, is a welcome page, where there is no need for too much content, but you can be a little flashy, a beautiful landscape or a picture that fits the theme plus a brief paragraph. A picture in line with the theme plus a concise welcome message, and a button is almost the same. In order to make the waiting process not too boring, you can set the welcome message to move.
Also, since it's a waiting period, it's a good idea to insert a piece of light music or other music that fits the theme. But set it up so that the music plays all the time and stops automatically when the class starts.
The table of contents of a PPT courseware should be simple
The table of contents of a PPT courseware is like a guidepost, pointing to where the viewer wants to go, so a complete table of contents should have at least: a title, a navigation bar, and an exit button.
The most important thing about this page is that it should be rich in content, but try to make it concise, unified, and preferably with a certain style. Some teachers' PPT courseware has a table of contents, but from the content is relatively too simple, and some even do not even have the theme of the PPT courseware.
