The purpose of this website is to help improve teaching methods in the classroom. It is specifically directed toward those classrooms in which PowerPoint is used nearly exclusively as the medium of information transfer.

Although technology has contributed to great educational advances, it has also become a hinderance to students in the classroom when it is used inappropriately. Few people would deny the fact that cell phones, laptops, and other portable connected devices are a distraction to students & teachers, but it may seem strange that PowerPoint can be just as much of a distraction.

PowerPoint becomes a distraction in the classroom when:

1. It is over-used as the only method of teaching

2. It is used inappropriately

This website will serve as a reminder of alternative teaching methods and provide simple principles to follow to ensure that PowerPoint slides are used at appropriate times and in appropriate ways.

Before this, it is important to understand how the brain works and processes information. Then it will be possible to determine which teaching methods work in the same way as the the brain.
