Effective use of PowerPoint to enhance your
Literacy Programme Presented by Nicola Rosemergy
and Justine Driver

We like to use pictures to find out things and to
tell stories.
Still photography, slide show presentations,
digital story telling, movies.
I wonder if Ill be the next Peter Jackson?

We think it would be neat if teachers let us
express our ideas more often in media other than
print . . .

And let us compose directly on the computer .
. .
. . . as well as in our books.

And get us learning through, and communicating
with, ICT more.

Images

• Pictures do tell a thousand words and are an
  effective medium for children to express ideas,
  thoughts and feelings.

Making Shared Readers

• By taking digital photos or creating images using
  drawing software children can personalise and
  take ownership of text. These can then be used
  for multiple readings and have more meaning for
  the children.

Hyperlinks

• As part of your literacy programme hyperlinked
  documents are useful to take children directly to
  purposeful sites
