Abstract
PowerPoint is an extremely useful and easy program to learn. Instructors may use PowerPoint to present visual and auditory information to support presentations at conferences, to support classroom lectures, and to have their students present individual or group work to the class. PowerPoint is an especially useful program for teaching text structure to college reading students. Discussion on how this may be accomplished, as well as directions for creating a presentation from the preexisting templates and backgrounds provided in the program are given. Directions are also given for printing overheads and handouts of the presentation.
