I think the biggest advantage of using presentation software, is that students who are visual learned will gain so much more knowledge. It also makes it easy for a teacher to put together a lesson, and she wont forget most of the material she has to cover. The disadvantage is resorting always to using powerpoint. It is not the most creative way of producing information to students, and many teachers now a days are only using powerpoint to teach lessons.

I would use powerpoint to support student learning by including a lot of graphic and visual material for those who are visual learners. I will use colors, and many fonts so they can pick out the informtaion individually. I will include a lot of noise and videos for those who are auditory learns. Also, listening to me talk they will be able to learn that way.

There are not enough computres for many schools and this is limiting students abilities to resources. Many students who do not have computers at home and come to school to use the computers are not even given that chance because they dont have computers at school. More money needs to be put into purchasing technologies for classrooms.
