I have used power point presentations in my class and found them to be very effective. Kids will pay more attention to the screen than a live human being! As an art teacher, I am able to show kids work from anywhere in the world online -- and incorporate that into my lesson, where before I would spend foever pouring through books looking for samples, not find the one I want, etc.
