My PowerPoint presentations have been made to be both informative on curricular topics and visually stimulating for all students. 100% of my students prefer to receive and discuss new topics via PowerPoint (compared to reading textbooks, lectures, or copying information off of the board). I have found that this method works extremely well with both mainstreamed and inclusion students. I also have a notebook with all the slides for students who need to take a second look at a slide or were absent for the day. My students look forward to my presentations and I always have 100% participation in my class… which is something to say for an urban school district!! My presentation and outline formats for teaching new material have been recommended by my administrators to new and experienced teachers at my school. Of course, you may edit them or add to them to meet your individual classroom needs.
