This is probably a pretty shocking
admission to make in 2014 but, prior to beginning my PGCE PCET course, I had
never created a PowerPoint presentation.
I know – how primitive of me! But
I didn’t know how. In fact, I didn’t
even know the application was there, on my laptop, waiting to be explored! Besides, I have always had a natural
inclination to turn towards pen and paper rather than screen and keyboard.
Having now taken the plunge, however, I’m happy to admit
that it is a really easy application to use.
Not only that, but it can be a creative process – it allows you to fiddle
with colour, design, font, background, and thereby build an attractive and valuable
visual aid.
There is no replacement for a teacher’s passion in relaying
their subject to their student, but I am learning to utilise technology as
another way to present that passion. I
feel confident that PowerPoint will become a real asset to my future teaching.
