This document provides tips for using a PowerPoint presentation (PPT) as an active learning tool. Some key points:
- Blank slides are included between content slides to allow time for student discussion of what they already know about each topic.
- The presenter should first show a blank slide, ask students for their input, then show the next slide with content.
- This process of blank slide + discussion, then content slide, is repeated for each topic and can be done through multiple revisions for deeper learning.
- It can be used for self-study by displaying a blank slide, thinking about what you know, then reading the next content slide.
