Week 2 -Describe a tool based on ADDIE (How to use presentation for a rookie).


Hi there! πŸ‘‹πŸ’œ

    πŸ’šToday's I will write about one tool based on the ADDIEpart but I will touch only the 'A' part as this is the task for this time. First and foremost let me share with you guys what ADDIE stands for. A for Analysis, D for Design, D for Development, I for Implementation, and E for Evaluation. I'm gonna describe PowerPoint. What is Powerpoint? Below is what it looks like. 

PowerPoint is the presentation software and one of the Microsoft tools in the Microsoft Office Suite. It has long been the most sought out software for creating presentations in both business and education. It is a downloadable desktop app for Microsoft PowerPoint that works seamlessly on both Mac OS and PC with Windows. Now, let's talk about how to use this tool, firstly, you can download it on your phone or use the laptop for better viewing via the play store or apple store. 

πŸ’–The first step after you download is the same as other apps, you need to sign up first before being able to use it. So here I would like to suggest that you can sign up by using your student university email so that you can enjoy many features there in the future. That's why I recommend all of you to use PowerPoint instead of another presentation tool because it's free. Remember my tips, if any tools need to be paid for first use, you can sign up by student email so that you can use all the features with no limit. I will explain to you step-by-step how to use this tool.

So we are going to focus on working inside of PowerPoint to build a presentation. In this tutorial, we're going to focus on working inside of PowerPoint to build a presentation. So I'm going to provide you everything you need to get comfortable with the app. To master the app, we'll talk about the most common steps a rookie PowerPoint user needs to know.

Here are the key actions you'll need to take to build a PowerPoint presentation:

  • You'll need to add slides, the individual pages in the presentation.

  • You'll add content to the slides, such as text boxes, images, charts, and graphs.

  • Change themes and styles to make your presentation look professional and fit the occasion at hand.

We'll cover each of these in this PowerPoint tutorial so that you can get up and running quickly. 

Getting up to speed with PowerPoint helps to understand the layout of the app. Let's walk through the key menu options so that you can learn PowerPoint quickly. If you understand the way that the app is laid out, you're likely to find any feature you need quickly.

πŸ’˜The first is the ribbon menu. It contains a series of tabs that you can switch between. You'll see new buttons and options to change your presentation which is a file for saving your presentation, home for a general-purpose, insert for add every image or video, design for control the looks and feel your presentation with theme and style, transitions for adding animations, animations for control the order and style the objects, and slide show control the way your presentation appears. Now that you understand the layout, you have a better idea of how you can jump to the feature you need. 

Now we have tackled the interface of PowerPoint and next is how to add slides. I will explain as simply as possible to ensure the rookie can understand easily.

☝Firstly go to the Insert tab then click on the New Slide button to add a new slide to your presentation.

✌The second step is how to add content. Click the Home button, simply choose Layout and then start adding your content

πŸ‘‰ Thirdly choose a Theme and Style. Jump over to the Design tab, and click on one of the thumbnails for a theme. Using a PowerPoint theme is the preferred alternative to adding backgrounds, color, and typestyles to each slide.

By using these three steps, you've got the repeatable sequence of actions needed to build a presentation. I hope these simple steps help the beginner. 

πŸ’˜    I love to share that PowerPoint is a great tool for aid teaching and learning.  Students can use PowerPoint easily as it is widespread use. As I have taught you guys above how to use it, pretty much everyone knows how to use, open, and view so students can use it for their presentations and the same goes for the teachers. Then, it is easy to distribute and share with team members and collaborators. Also, this app is good for aid teaching and learning because of the rich features for using multimedia in presentations. You can add video, audio, voice-over, and animations to keep viewers interested and engaged. These features help add a good dose of visual impact to presentations. 

With the new norm in education, we need to adopt these past few months, PowerPoint has helped many people out there for their work including teachers, students and no one gonna deny that. For both teachers and students, they need to make creative templates so here it is. PowerPoint has been the long-standing favorite in presentation makers, there are templates for every style and purpose. In short, PowerPoint does good learning and teaching aid. In fact, PowerPoint is a good app to ensure students keep entertained even doing assignments or study a new chapter. Shout out to the teachers out there who keep on finding a way to make their students entertain at the same time learning. Let's fight together! That’s all from me. See ya! xoxo-Fatin
