 ===**About Powerpoint:** A powerpoint is a way of presenting information. It is a slideshow and many people use them, whether it is a formal presentation or informal. Users can add text, pictures, sounds, and special animation effects to enhance their presentation. ===

 How Teachers Use This in Education:
 Many teachers use Powerpoint as a way of presenting notes to the class. The teacher will show the Powerpoint and speak while the students copy down what is written on the Powerpoint. Teachers can also print hand-out versions of Powerpoints and hand them out to students so they can take additional notes.

** How Students Use This in Education: **
 Students can use Powerpoints in order to present information retrieved from a research paper or project. Students can also use Powerpoints given to them by teachers to study for exams. This is helpful for students with diverse learning styles because they can be handed a copy of the Powerpoint and not have to write any notes. Additionally, it works well for students who are visual learners and cannot learn simply by just listening to a lecture **  ISTE-NETS Standards: **  ** Some Powerpoints I have created: **
