An educator who is using a basic software tool in an innovative way for instruction is my chemistry professor. She uses the power point software tool in every lecture to help students have a visual. It is very helpful for the students so they can take down notes by listening to her lecture and visualy seeing the processes. My professor posts all of the power points on the internet. This is also a helpful tool because if a student is sick one day and needs the notes they will not have missed out, or if the student did not understand something in class they could go back and inquire about it. Power point in the classroom in a high school classroom would be effective but only in small amounts. The class are a lot smaller than a college class and the students are much younger therefore the teacher needs to keep the student more engaged than just a power point every single day.
