For this task I created my own PowerPoint about Gorillas. I have used PowerPoint for many years and therefore didn't find it difficult to work with. An interactive PowerPoint is simple a PowerPoint that encourages students to participate in a task. For my PowerPoint on Gorillas, I included questions as the last 5 slides that relate to the information found in the PowerPoint.
From experience, I know that PowerPoint Presentation are used often in school situation for students to present information. Many students enjoy using PowerPoint and after a few lessons with the teacher on the basics of the program, students often suceed in their presentation.
Having said this, sometimes it may seem that students spend too much time working out how there presentation is going to play rather than the information in the slides itself. I guess it would be up to the teacher to monitor the length of time students have on the animation of the content compared to the content itself.
Interactive PowerPoints are a way for not only teachers but also students to present information and allow the other people in the room to participate in what is going on. Therefore this type of ICT encourages inclusive lessons.
In conclusion, Interactive PowerPoints, I believe, are an expansion on a tool that not only allows presentation to be presented but the audience to be involved.
