  2. Presentation SoftwareA Summative and Formative Assessment Technology Tool Although presentation software was originally developed for the business world, recent studies have proven that it can be an effective assessment tool in education. A recent study supervised by the University of Tennessee supports the conclusion that Microsoft PowerPoint can be an effective assessment and intervention tool when increasing fluency and automaticity in math facts (Parkhurstet al, 2009). A second study out of Charles University in Prague elicits the efficiency of the creation of presentations as didactic tools that, with trained teachers, can positively influence the instructional effectiveness (Urbanova & Ctrnactova, 2009). Whether it is an interactive Jeopardy game using MS PowerPoint or a student created project, presentation software can be an effective tool in driving and differentiating instruction for today’s twenty-first century learners.

  3. Presentation SoftwareComputer AND Web-based

  4. Presentation Software: The Cost

  5. Presentation Software: What Assessment Data is Produced?

  6. Presentation Software: How Does it Drive & Differentiate Instruction?

  7. Presentation Software: Best Practices An article out of Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago concludes that teachers MUST use guidelines when using presentations as instructional tools, (Kraus, 2008). Rudolf Kraus sustains that there are many benefits to utilizing PowerPoint as a significant tool in creating an advantage in teaching complex concepts in science education. However, Kraus argues that instructional presentations must stray from the original business oriented linear tool, to a more interactive, student driven activity that assesses student achievement and drives instruction.

  8. Presentation Software:Conclusion & Resources When used appropriately, presentation software can be an effective and engaging assessment tool in the classroom. Presentations, whether used as an instructional tool or when creating a culminating student product, can yield important real time data used to monitor goals and drive instruction.
