Personally i believe that presentation power points and other visual tools are only a plus for the student and the teachers. It makes it that much easier for a teacher to present the information and it makes it that much easier for the student to see and understand the information that he or she is being presented with. The graphs and other visual tools that you are able to use in visual presentations only makes the information easier to grab mentally because you are actually visually taking in the information the same time the teacher is explaining it. Since i am looking to teach at a higher level in education maybe high school i would have the students work in groups and come up with their own presentation covering a small section of the whole topic that the class is going over at the time of the assignment. They would than be given evaluation forms for their peers and they would watch each group present so you know they fully understand the information and have a working knowledge of the subject matter.
