"Using Graphic and Presentation Technologies to Enhance Face-to-face Instruction"

Project Description
Kathy Mann, PT InstructorKathy Mann primarily used PowerPoint for the enhancement of lectures in the classroom. Her PowerPoint-enhanced lectures assist her students in the PTA classroom in understanding and visualizing musculoskeletal anatomy.  Kathy also reports that her PowerPoint presentations help to fight boredom!  Students enjoyed seeing "real-life" pictures of anatomy.  The visuals stay on the screen while Kathy talks about the structure which allowed students to get a clear picture of what is said verbally.  Kathy adds that with these presentations her students do not have to suffer through her "non-artistic sketches of muscles".  Finally, Kathy really likes the feature of being able to "draw on her PowerPoint slides" during presentations further assisting her students' understanding by focusing their attention to certain features of the image.
