 OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION
• After the completion of this session, the trainee teachers
will be able to:
 Apply their multimedia skills to use Power Point
presentation for creating lesson plans
 Introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint
• Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful tool for
creating dynamic presentations and
multimedia-rich, interactive lesson plans.
• It integrates text, images, audio, video, and
animations to create engaging content.
• As an educational tool, it can help create
interactive and visually appealing lesson
plans.
Importance of Multimedia in Teaching
• Multimedia enhances learning by catering to
diverse learning styles.
• Visuals, audio, and interactive features help
engage students more effectively.
• PowerPoint supports all these elements to
make lessons more dynamic and memorable.
 Getting Started with PowerPoint
• To get started, open PowerPoint and choose
either a blank presentation or one of the
many pre-designed templates.
• Templates are a quick way to achieve a
professional design while focusing on lesson
content.
 Creating a New Presentation
• When creating a presentation, start by
organizing your slides into sections:
introduction, objectives, main content,
activities, and conclusion.
• This structure will help keep your lesson plan
clear and well-organized.
 Organizing the Presentation
• Break your lesson into clear sections.
• Start with an introduction to set the stage,
then move to content, activities, and
assessments.
• This structure helps students follow along
and stay engaged.
 Using Text Effectively
• Keep your text clear and concise.
• Use large, easy-to-read fonts like Arial or
Calibri and avoid overcrowding slides
with text.
• Bullet points help break down complex
ideas into digestible information.
 Using Images and Visuals
• Images, charts, and diagrams are excellent
ways to clarify complex concepts.
• Visuals engage students and help make
lessons more relatable.
• PowerPoint allows you to insert high-quality
images and edit them directly within the
app.
 Incorporating Audio and Sound
• Adding audio narration or background
music can enhance your lesson by
adding atmosphere and providing
clarification.
• You can use voiceovers or even sounds
to emphasize key points, making your
lessons more engaging.
 Adding Video Clips
• Embedding videos into PowerPoint can bring
real-world examples into your lesson.
• Videos help illustrate concepts and keep
students engaged.
• You can use YouTube links or upload your
own videos directly into the presentation.
 Using Animations and Transitions
• Animations help draw attention to specific
elements on your slides, while transitions
smooth the flow from one slide to the next.
• Use them sparingly to emphasize key points
and maintain a professional look.
 Interactive Elements for Student
Engagement
• Add interactive elements like hyperlinks,
action buttons, and embedded quizzes to
engage students actively.
• These elements make your presentation
interactive and can be used for self-paced
learning or group activities.
 Working with Templates
• PowerPoint provides various templates to
help you create professional presentations
quickly.
• Templates ensure consistent design and
allow you to focus on content rather than
formatting.
 Customizing Slide Layouts
• PowerPoint allows you to customize slide
layouts to suit your specific lesson plan.
• You can adjust text, images, and
multimedia placement to create visually
appealing slides that effectively
communicate your message.
 Collaborative Features in PowerPoint
• PowerPoint’s collaboration tools allow you to
work with colleagues on a single
presentation.
• You can share your work via OneDrive or
Google Drive, Dropbox etc. and edit together
in real-time, making it easier to plan lessons
as a team.
 Reviewing and Editing Your
Presentation
• Before finalizing your lesson plan, review
each slide for consistency, spelling, and
clarity.
• Make sure your slides align with your
learning objectives and that the content
flows logically.
 Best Practices for Presenting with
PowerPoint
• When presenting, use PowerPoint as a visual
aid, not as a script.
• Maintain eye contact with your students,
engage them with questions, and use slides
to highlight key ideas and support your
teaching.
Using PowerPoint for Remote Teaching
• In remote or hybrid classrooms, PowerPoint is
a great tool for presenting your lessons
virtually.
• Share your slides through platforms like
Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet to engage
students during online lessons.
 Activity 1

multimedia to teach classroom content.
