Why Teachers And Students Use PowerPoint?

PowerPoint is useful for both students and teachers. That being said, here are good reasons why they should continue using PPT:

• Conduct Quizzes: For teachers, learning PPT is a good idea because this tool is very useful when conducting classes and quizzes. Teachers can use this in their classes, with just a laptop and a projector. They can also use this to conduct a quiz for the whole school or at an interschool level.
• Cost-effective: One of the reasons why teachers and students should use PowerPoint presentations is that they’re cost-effective. When you think about the amount of money that’s spent on the typical classroom and the equipment that’s required to run such a classroom, you’ll begin to realize the effectiveness of using this type of presentation software.
• Easy to use: Another reason why teachers and students should use PowerPoint presentations is that this type of software is easy to use. With the use of a simple program, the teacher is able to create and customize the presentation in just minutes. Then, it’s ready to be used by the students when they’re done with the presentation.
  Teachers don’t need to spend hours training their staff on the basics of PowerPoint since all they have to do is get the program and then use it.
• Flexible: The main reason why teachers should use PPT presentations is that they’re very flexible. This means that a teacher can easily change the format of their presentation without having to make any major modifications to the data.
  For example, if the student is not as good at writing as the teacher would like, they can just add more charts or use graphs and tables to demonstrate the points that they want the student to make.
• Easily check students’ progress: With just a few mouse clicks, the teacher can quickly create and store the data that’s used in their presentation. The ability to keep track of the students' progress through the lessons is also made much easier with the use of PowerPoint.
