Clicking early with PowerPoint - Peter Schworm, Boston Globe Staff
Shuttling between the Internet and his computer slide show, Manuel Duarte put the finishing touches on his research project. He outlined his main findings in bullet points, and dragged images and audio files from the Web to liven things up. Duarte wasn’t polishing his PowerPoint presentation for a boardroom sales pitch; it was for his fourth-grade class in Brockton.... Nationally, a survey of 185,000 students taken last fall indicated that the most frequent Internet use is for research, followed closely by creating slide show presentations. The survey, conducted by NetDay, a national education technology group, also suggested that nearly half of the students in grades 6 through 12 feel positively about the value of online learning, and that students are more active learners when assigned multimedia projects.
