PowerPoint: It's Use In Our Classrooms

The following files provide examples of ways that PowerPoint has been used in Jordan School District classrooms. The key is to remember that PowerPoint is simply a tool - like all tools, it can have more than one use.

Scaffolding

• Review Pages - If you have an assignment wherein students create a PowerPoint presentation, you always want them to be well prepared with exactly what they're going to include in the presentation before they begin creating the presentation.
• Brain-storming Sheet - Make sure they're very prepared before they create!
• PowerPoint Rubric - Give your students an idea of how they will be graded on their presentation
