Abstract

Initial uses of PowerPoint in K-12 classrooms have raised questions about its efficacy as a tool for learning academic content. In some classrooms, powerpoints have replaced the research paper. While students find the format more appealing than writing, its value as evidence of student learning has been suspect. Over the years though, interesting possibilities have emerged for varying purposes of powerpoints for students and teachers. These have come from the Intel Teach to the Future curriculum, the National History Day contest and a project funded by the Japanese American National Museum.
