Engaging students in the learning process is a ubiquitous challenge experienced by teachers worldwide. Traditional attempts to overcome this issue often involve creating visually attractive PowerPoint slides. However, an appealing presentation, although important, is not a panacea for student engagement. The solution requires us to rethink our approach to using PowerPoint, to transform it from a static delivery method to an interactive teaching tool.
The traditional teaching methods often lead to superficial engagement, fostering passive learning and lacking interactive elements. Students become observers rather than participants, resulting in a decreased absorption of knowledge. But the game changes when PowerPoint is reshaped into a tool for interactive and dynamic teaching experiences.
