Did you catch our post featuring fun facts about butterflies for kids? I had so much fun creating that list and today I am excited to share an all-new Let’s Explore Butterflies PowerPoint Show featuring many of those fun butterfly facts and MORE!
Why Use PowerPoint with Kids?
PowerPoint is a unique learning tool for homeschooling families. Appealing to a child’s desire for technology while balancing parent involvement and interaction, it provides a nice alternative for screen-based learning.
Many kids and homeschool families love YouTube videos for homeschooling since they provide wonderful visuals and great information about a particular topic. A PowerPoint show provides similar information but in a more interactive format. As kids click through a PowerPoint show, they can go at their own pace, allowing for discussion as each slide is presented.
How to Use PowerPoint Shows with Kids
You can use an educational PowerPoint show as an independent learning tool if your child can read the content in the show. These shows can also be used as a family learning tool, which is great for homeschoolers. As an alternative to educational videos or books, a PP show is in the middle. It is on a screen, yet formatted more like a book.
Here is a video tutorial for how to get PowerPoints playing on your iPad.
Do the PowerPoint shows auto-play?
No, you click through each slide on your own{meaning they do not advance automatically}. This is so you can interact with your child and go at your own pace. I recommend going through the show on your own before doing it with your child so you are familiar with the animations and layout.
My show isn’t looking quite right, maybe I am in edit mode?
You need to be viewing the shows in “Slide Show Mode.” Things will look all jumbled {due to the animations} in edit mode. Many computers will open the shows directly into show mode, but if yours doesn’t, be sure to switch to view the show!
Can I change some things in the shows?
No, shows are meant to be used as-is.
Can I view these shows on my iPad?
Yes! We have iPads and have tested our shows on the PowerPoint app on our iPad and they work great!
