Some tips on how to make teaching PPT The maximum taboo of teaching PPT: dont completely express the

whole context on it. PPT is not everything. It must cooperate with your speech. Therefore, you should avoid too much words, pictures, and animations. Make full use of note function. Using notes which matched with network resources could reduce the limitations of text on slide and also leave speakers much more lecture ideas so that you could review it in the future. Certainly, it increases memory difficult to teachers invisibly, but I believe it will be easy to an experienced teacher. If there are 2 monitors, it would be perfect for checking the notes on the background.

There is a default principle that pictures are always convictive than words. Before entering a new content, there must be a clear and specific hint. Dont isolated stand in front of the screen. PPT cant represent interaction. You could walk down to the students and explain it with each switch of slides. It seems that each slide contains rich connotation, which will make your students feel hospitable and innovative. Showing a PPT is not like showing movies. Its not a mechanical operation. Consider more on your students stage. Such as is the word too small? Should I enlarge it? Or are the pictures clear enough? Communicate with your students and sometimes they will feel warm because of your casual enquiries. Ask more why to stimulate your students thinking. Enough prepare. There would probably be any kinds of accidents such as a suddenly disconnection of electricity, abnormality of computers or damages of projector and so on. Therefore, dont excessively depend on your PPT.

Every teacher should get ready for any situation before lectures. If you cant do this, there will be problems sooner or later. You should realize that PPT is not perfect and it also has disadvantages. For example, it never can explain complex logic theories. When necessary, write on the blackboard or use traditional teaching tools. PPT shouldnt be a copy of textbooks, so it should have content that textbooks havent and also thoughts that textbooks cant express. For example, you could add some actual case which could be discussed in classroom. And also you could add some videos or pictures. Of course, these must have summaries, analysis and discussions. Make use of the advantages of PPT to mainly discuss some key problems. Do remember that dont switch slides too frequently, or else your students couldnt understand what you express. Pay attention to the content. Dont spend too much time on templates and exterior design. The interface shouldnt be excessively decorated and the content should be detailed described as possible as you can. Detailed date, proper diagram and cases, views which could be simulate discussing and proper comparison would be helpful to make the PPT looks more profound.
