Dynamic PowerPoint: A Visualization Tool for
Engaging LearnersScott A. Sinex
Prince George’s Community College
A workshop for the Building Learning with Technology Summer Design Institute held at the University of Maryland College Park on 8-12 July
2002.
PowerPoint Induced Sleep
• Too much on a slide (overloaded) especially text
• Fact after fact after fact - boring• And then read it to your students and
say goodnight
Can we make it dynamic and enhance the visualization of concepts?
Can we get students engaged in the class?
Do you want your students to participate in class? (less lecture, more discussion)
Do they need to predict what is going to be an outcome?
Do you poll your students on issues or an answer?
Active Learning
How to keep your class engaged
• Pose questions – stimulates discussion
• Use animations and/or movies– PowerPoint XP has considerable
animation capabilities– Animated gif files (PowerPoint 2000 or
XP)– Video clips
• Build complicated concepts in pieces

Neither accurate nor precise
All done using animation in PowerPoint!

Can you define accuracy and precision?
Animated gif files

Results that are accurate and precise are the best.
