PRAISE FOR POWERPOINT FOR TEACHERS
"As the complexity and sophistication of educational technology increase exponentially, it is easy to overlook the simple but still powerful teaching tools available to us all. Finkelstein and Samsonov do us a service in reminding us of just how useful and flexible PowerPoint can be as a powerful, creative, and user–friendly interactive teaching tool. With this book, any teacher interested in bringing technology into their teaching can do so, and to their students′ benefit."
—Dr. Robert Slater, professor, Educational Administration and Human Resources,Texas A&M University
"This how–to guide on the use of PowerPoint helps educators move into more visually oriented, interactive levels of teaching, where students are more likely to remember and use what we have taught them. I′d recommend every teacher add these simple technologies to their repertoire of teaching strategies."
—Christopher Jones, chairman, department of education, Maharishi University of Management

I went right to linked slides--making slides with answer buttons that give you a "well done" or "do over" slide. I made a fun presentation on the primary colors of light for my Desktop Publishing class. The students had to pick the primary and secondary colors, read explanations, and see examples. They told me that they liked it. One boy (a WOW gamer) commented, "I get to guess the colors! Cool!" They all liked the independence it gave them--being able to go through the presentation on their own.
My next project was the graded test. Ms. Finkelstein says to give this chapter a generous amount of time; I support that view. However, I liked this part the best. It was a very one-thing-at-a-time explanation. Thank goodness. Lots of titles and subtitles for easy back and forth reading. So I made my multiple choice test on American Transcendentalism! The students liked that, too.
The authors have good chapters on interactive presentations and non-linear organization; these ideas transfer to all lesson-planning. My next dive will be into menu-based projects. I look forward to that!
