In thinking about the pedagogical purpose of PowerPoint I have reflected on the ways in which I have seen PowerPoint used at University and the PowerPoints I have assisted in creating to support assessments.
It seems to me that PowerPoint in a classroom supports oral language with written text and visual images. It acts as a summary of information and students become aware (possibly indirectly) of how large amounts of spoken language can be summarised into succinct dot points. PowerPoint presentations also aid in the sequencing of information.
PowerPoint slides can be built by individuals for their particular part of a topic and collated for the final presentation to give one overall look and feel thereby creating a collaborated group project. Nice!
