Computers and technology are available in the classroom, but not all teachers feel that they are qualified to use it. Others feel that they can be used in a negative way and not help the learning of the students at all. And still others feel that programs, such as PowerPoint can be used in very positive ways and introduce many different ways of teaching and learning that can help the hands on and visual learners in the classroom. This article looks at how the action buttons in PowerPoint could help turn a simple presentation into an interactive learning environment. I highly recommend this website for anyone wanting to understand and use PowerPoint presentations effectively in the classroom.

They found ways to compare linear and graphic note taking techniques and how the graphic organizer either helped or hurt students that used it. This article is interesting because it takes 114 undergraduate students and shows the different experiments that were used and the outcomes of them.
