Powerpoint presenting chance and data

This PowerPoint presents a survey format, a frequency table and a graph as a visual example for students to follow.

PowerPoint is a multi modal tool that is used in many presentation situations. Due to its multimedia abilities,it is a tool that assists in presenting to a variety of learning styles with audio and visual components. It is used for students to present their learning and for teachers to present information/learning. Through designing this tool to present information, students are actively engaged in the practice of technology;investigation,ideation, production and evaluation. The learning advantages of this tool are the ability to engage the constructor and the user friendly functions that allow students of all ages to 'create' a presentation using its multimedia and animation functions. It is used in the create phase of learning ( Blooms Taxonomy) bearing in mind that the technology tool is the 'anchor' for which the learning is communicated organised and presented ( Eisenberg & Berkowitz, 2001).
