Reflection of PPT

  In China, teachers are getting used to presenting by PPT provided by Microsoft. But most teachers don’t know how to use it for teaching appropriately because they always just move the texts from book to slides with little pictures or videos.

  In my opinion, PPT is used for presenting syllabus of teaching contents or keynotes to mention teachers the preset steps of teaching in class and attract students’ attention to make them concentrate on teachers’ teaching. Of course, teachers can add some detailed contents on slides to make students be clear about the targets or real criterial of study, but not all the contents of book. As we all know, keep students focus on listening and studying in a long time is not easy for teachers, and plain text display is totally harmful for students to pay attention, they just feel boring when teachers retell the contents of book on PPT.

  So, I think teachers can convert the plain texts to appropriate photos, infographics, mind maps, audios, videos or animations as the substitute with brief text introduction because they are easier for students to accept and understand. Teachers should also need design the particular background of PPT according to the actual demands, not fill different color on the white background or just insert a boring picture.
