HOW TO USING PPT TO CREATE A MATERIALS

 

 

1. What is a PPT?

PPT (PowerPoint Presentation) is a digital slide presentation created using Microsoft PowerPoint. It allows users to design visual materials using slides that contain text, images, audio, video, charts, and animations.

In simple terms:
👉 PPT is a digital presentation made of slides to help explain lessons or information more clearly.

PPT is commonly used in education, business, and training because it helps:

• Organize information
• Make lessons more visual and attractive
• Support teachers in explaining materials
• Engage students through pictures, videos, and animations

 

2. How to Create Learning Media Using PPT

Below are easy step-by-step instructions to create learning media using PowerPoint:

Step 1: Open PowerPoint and Choose a Template

• Open Microsoft PowerPoint
• Choose Blank Presentation or select a ready-made template
  Templates help make slides look more professional.

 

Step 2: Plan the Content of Your Learning Media

For teaching, include:

• Title of the lesson
• Learning objectives
• Explanation or theory
• Examples
• Practice activities
• Summary
• Assessment or quiz (optional)

 

Step 3: Add Text to the Slides

• Use clear, short text (bullet points are better than long paragraphs).
• Use big and readable fonts (e.g., 28–32 pt for titles, 18–24 pt for text).
• Avoid too much text in one slide.

 

Step 4: Insert Images, Icons, or Illustrations

Good learning media should be visual.
Use:

• Pictures
• Icons
• Diagrams
• Infographics

How to insert:
👉 Insert → Pictures or Insert → Icons

Visuals help students understand concepts faster.

 

Step 5: Add Audio or Video (Optional)

For CALL or language teaching:

• Insert pronunciation audio
• Insert short videos
• Add background music for motivation

Steps:
👉 Insert → Audio/Video

 

Step 6: Use Animations and Transitions Wisely

Animations can make slides more interesting, BUT do not overuse them.
Use:

• Fade
• Appear
• Wipe

Too many animations make slides distracting.

 

Step 7: Make Interactive Learning Media (Optional)

You can make your PPT interactive by adding:

• Buttons (Home, Next, Back)
• Quizzes (True/False, Multiple Choice)
• Hyperlinks to videos or websites

How:
👉 Insert → Shapes → Action

 

Step 8: Save and Export

Save your PPT:

• As .pptx (editable)
• As PDF (if you want printable material)
• As video (MP4) if you want a video lesson

👉 File → Save As
