Introduction
Slides
• Slide is a single page or image show in the slide show.
• A slide show or slide presentation is a series of pictures or pages of
information (slides).
• At first slide shows were done with pictures on piece of glass, to be
later replaced by photogenic film slides in the 1940s.
Contd...
• For today’s presentations and showing slides, a slide in a slide show is
essentially a single screen of information, able to display text, charts,
and images.
• Applications for creating slides are Microsoft PowerPoint, Google
Docs, Adobe, IBM.
Contd...
PowerPoint
• A software package designed to create electronic presentations
consisting of a series of separate pages or slide.
• Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program, created by Robert
Gaskins and Dennis Austin at a software company named forethought,
inc.
• It was released on April 20, 1987AD, initially for apple Macintosh
computers only with initially named presenter.
Contd...
• Thus, PowerPoint slide is a
technological instructional media of
teaching used to convey messages
through electrical devices (such as
mobile phone, tab, computer etc).
Purposes
• It is the best way to view presentation clearly.
• It makes the presentation easier to follow, assists comprehension,
strengthens the message.
• It helps in maximum impact in minimal time.
• It helps to stay learners attentive.
• Helps audience to remember message.
Rules of PowerPoint Slide
1. Unity
2. Simplicity
3. Legibility
4. Clarity
5. Quality
Slide Design
• Use one main idea per slide.
• Maximum of 6-7 bullets.
• Maximum of 6-7 words per bullet.
• Spend only one minute per slide.
• Use same font throughout or maximum two font types.
• Use large font size: 36, no less than 24.
Contd...

• Avoid over use of animation – these

can be distracting.
• Graphics should garnish the slide, not
become the focal point.
• Expectations would be charts and
graphs.
• Use underline and italics sparingly.
Contd..
• Size your presentation for the largest audience.
• Background and color schemes should complement the content.
• Use common fonts such as Arial and Times New Roman.
• Better to have more slides with less content (fewer bullets and fewer
words) than fewer slides with crowded content.
Presentation Outline
• Start presentations with a title slide and place a short title on every
slide.
• Second slide is an outline slide of what you will cover.
• Next to last slide is a summation slide of major points.
• Last slide is contact information.
Preparing for Presentation
• Save the entire presentation prepared on laptops, memory card, drive
etc.
• If use sound or video, make sure the files stay with the presentation,
especially if copy the material to another device.
• Project the content using projectors.
• Know your content, relax and engage your audience.
Advantages
• Easily adaptable to self learning packages.
• Slide projection capture attention and interest of audience.
• Slide save the time of teacher.
• It can cover large mass of audience .
• It can be use again and again if stored properly.
• It helps in learning by repetition by supplementing information
provided by teacher verbally.
Disadvantages
• Time consuming.
• Expensive material are required.
• It cannot be used in place without electricity.
• The session course remain incomplete if electricity supply is cut of
during session.
• Seen only with the help of slide projector.

Models
Contents
• Introduction
• Types of Models
• Uses of Models
• Advantages
• Disadvantages
Introduction
• A model is a recognizable representation of a real thing three-
dimensionally, i.e. height, width and depth are felt as a reality.
• This makes the understanding of the thing easy and better.
• It is true that models provide the knowledge of the internal and
external parts of a thing properly which is not possible with two
dimensional diagrams and charts.
Contd...
• Big models of small things can make its structure and working easily
comprehensible to a large number of students.
• Also, small models of big things can bring reality within the walls of a
classroom.
• Examples of the models often used by teachers are: clay model of
heart, eye, tooth etc., globe: crystal structures, miniature buildings;
motor; generator, etc.
Types of Models

• Solid models
• Cut-away, cross sectional or X-ray models
• Working models
• Sand model
Contd...
1. Solid Models
A solid model is the replica of an original thing made with some
suitable material like clay, plaster of paris, wood, iron, etc., to show the
external parts and features of the thing.
E.g. Globe; clay model of human and animal a vegetable; dolls, toys,
etc.
Contd...
2. Cut-away, Cross - sectional or X-Ray Models
Cut-away and X-ray models are the replicas of the original things to
show internal parts of a thing.
It may be either in the form of a cross sectional model showing internal
parts of a thing or may be composed of detachable parts.
Cross sectional models are difficult to make in the system. Institutions
as they require expertise to construct them.
E.g. Cross-sectional model of human body: Petrol engine; automatic
traffic control
Contd...

3. Working Models
These models are either actual working things or their miniature
replicas. For illustrating an operation, working models are of great
educational value.
e.g. A motor, a generator, a cycle pump, etc.
Contd...

4. Sand Models
These are the graphic lay-out using sand, clay and other objects to show
trees, buildings, rivers etc.
Sand models are made using colored sand in a tray of convenient size or
on a table.
Generally a green field is shown by covering area with green saw dust,
water with blue cellophane, and cardboard cut-outs for showing forests.
E.g. A tribal village, a city area, a forest area etc.
Uses of Models

The use of models becomes necessary because of the following reasons:

1. The real thing may not be available in that season or may be far
away from the school.
2. The real thing may be too big to be brought to the school.
3. The real thing may be too dangerous to be felt or handled by
students.
4. The real thing may be too expensive.
5. The real thing may be too small to be seen at all or properly.
Advantages
1. Models heighten reality of things and make learning direct and
meaningful as they are three - dimensional.
2. Models illustrate the application side of certain principles and laws.
3. Models explain the complex and intricate operations in a simplified
way and thus make comprehension easier.
4. Models are lasting and ultimately work out to be cheaper teaching
aids.
Contd...

5. Still models are easy to make with the help of discarded materials like
empty boxes, pins, clips, nails, rags and clay.
6. Models are to reasonable size and convenient to handle.
7. Models involve the use of all the five senses and thus make learning
effective.
Disadvantages
• Not all the models can be made in the educational institutions as they
require expertise to make them properly.
• Models at time can give a wrong impression and conception of the
size of the things.
• Some of the models can be very expensive.
