10 Best Reasons to have PPT Show in the Classroom

1. Substitute Teachers- If the regular teacher is out of the classroom for a day or two, he/she can create a PowerPoint Show for the sub to play.  Students are able to continue learning even if the regular teacher is gone.
2. Absent Student- If a student misses class, the teacher can email the student the lecture with the Power Point slides.
3. Study Tool- Allows students to go back to to a lesson to study for an upcoming test.
4. Alternate Teaching Method- Breaks up the monotony of lectures or a regular Power Point.
5. Technology- Shows other techniques that can be used to make a Power Point more entertaining.
6. Videos- Can embed videos in the Power Point to help keep students interest throughout the presentation.
7. Handouts- The teacher can have students fill out handouts based on the Power Point to help them stay focused on the presentation.
8. Concise Information- Instead of having text heavy slides, a Power Point Show needs to be concise since the narrator can go into more detail.
9. Accomodates Visual/Auditory learners- Visual learners can see the information while auditory learners are able to hear the information.
10. Post Online- Having the PowerPoint Slide easily accessible helps the student access classroom materials regardless if they were in class or not.
