Adaptation

• A PowerPoint presentation could be used in a
  variety of ways. Aside from it being an obvious
  method of classroom instruction, student could
  also prepare and presented a slide show for a
  class project. In an agricultural education
  setting, a student could prepare an interactive
  PowerPoint as a part of their SAE program. Other
  students in the class would be able to explore
  and learn independently in areas that they are
  most interested in.
