Pedagogical - 21st Century Learning Digital Teacher

Slide presentations were used throughout my educational experience. I can barely remember a time without such a use of technology. More often than not, it is easier for a student to visualize something, than to simply hear it out right. Slides shows are simple visual presentations of the material you wish to expose to the students. For instance, if you wish to show a map of a given area, a slide presentation allows you to highlight or zoom in as deemed necessary. It is a more efficient an more environmentally friendly way to help visualize, rather than use oversized maps, or worksheets. As a future teacher of history, this technology will be used relatively often in my classroom. Though it certainly ought not to be abused, it takes away from the simple boring podium lecture that many of us have experienced. All-in-all, it is visually more attractive, easier to comprehend, and provides a more efficient means to gather up material to be shown in class.
