= **Course Summary:** =

PowerPoint uses a graphical approach to presentations in the form of slide shows that accompany the oral delivery of the topic. This program is widely used in business and classrooms. It is an effective tool when used properly as a supplement to the learning process. PowerPoint is a very versatile tool that can be used in creative ways to incorporate collaboration and creativity. Teachers need to gravitate away from using PowerPoint as a presentation tool and utilize its interactive power to expand student thinking.
