This bundle includes a full 1-3 week unit on Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 (also compatible with 2013), for grades 8-12. The lessons are designed to teach Microsoft PowerPoint in-depth, and also follow the requirements for the MOS test, preparing them to take and pass it. When I wrote them, I had taken the test and so ensured that everything on the MOS test is also included in these lessons.

These lessons are designed to keep students working in a self-directed manner as they find the answers themselves through video tutorials. This method has proven more effective in long-term retention and investment in their own learning. Students first assess their prior knowledge, then practice each feature many times. They learn each feature by watching that section of a searchable video, which shows them how to do the feature but does NOT take them through the assignment. In this way, they find answers for themselves and work out how to do the work on their own as they work at their own pace. Then they create an application where they apply what they have learned in creating a document such as a menu, brochure, newsletter, etc. Finally, they do a post-assessment to determine if they have truly learned all the skills in that lesson.

The applications are engaging and applicable to students, and keep them interested in the lesson as it progresses. Students can measure their progress through pre and post assessments. Unlike my Word and Excel lessons, PowerPoint does NOT include a practice section. This is because this unit is meant to be much shorter and most students have enough prior knowledge at the beginning. Solution videos silently go through the entire assignment from start to finish. They can be great for a teacher reference, as a resource for students who are falling behind, and for students who have special needs or need additional accommodations.

NOTE: (May 7, 2019) My students are CURRENTLY going through these lessons so they have not been completely classroom tested. Please report to me any changes you think are necessary and I will update the files. Be aware that you may need to download it again if future changes are made.
