PowerPoint
PowerPoint is a presentation program included in Microsoft Office and replaces slides and overhead projectors. Microsoft publishes versions of PowerPoint for both Windows and Mac OS.
What does PowerPoint do?
PowerPoint allows the user to create a series of slides, or slideshows, that combine text with graphics, audio, video, animations, charts, graphs, and other representations of data in order to enrich a presentation. Educators and professionals alike can create polished, well-crafted presentations in PowerPoint that will engage the audiences attention, increase retention of key information, and reinforce the speakers point of view.
