1. Structurally linear and sequential. Students expect the next slide, which is good for sequential learners. However, for those who get easily bored Powerpoint can be monotonous. Keep it interesting.
2. Several exit and entrance animation features can be applied to texts, images, and slides. Overused can be distracting instead of engaging.
3. Sound animation can be useful to cue answers or catch students attention.
4. Pictures, graphs, and videos can be added easily and made into back grounds or used as links.
5. The order of slides can be easily manipulated or switched around.
6. The Notes feature is good for those who like to print out their slides and notes under each slide.
7. Various layouts can help to balance your texts and pictures. Prezi is less guided, which frees up for creativity but may lack spatial balance.
8. You can insert and adapt text boxes, clipart, and shapes.
9. Bullet features keep information clear and organized.
10. There are several different themes and color schemes you can apply to your slides. It is suggested that you stick with one theme throughout your powerpoint presentation.
Additional info because I did it twice.

3. Exit and entrance effects are great
4. Effects or animations can be applied to texts and slides
5. Color schemes can be changed
6. Can embed YouTube videos onto Powerpoint

8. They should be 7-10 minutes long.
9. You can narrate your powerpoint so you don't have to be there to present it.
10. You can make them interactive, if they click a link they can go to a website or to another slide. Good for virtual lessons like click yes or no for this question and it takes you to other slides and then you can go next or back to answer correctly.
