Power Point in the classroom

Power points are a good way to present new information to a classroom of students. It is an organized form of presenting the information especially to young students. I have a feeling that students will pay more attention if the teacher makes the power point interesting and colorful rather than if I just put an overhead up with notes. Children are probably more likely to watch a power point rather than just listen or watch what I'm writing on the board. I will use power point in my classroom and see how it works with elementary school students.
