The first thing you need to do is fully understand the task that you will describe.  You should give the task a name and fully understand what it entails, who it affects, nd why one needs to do it.\n\nYou have to provide the new employees with motivation or a reason as to why they need to learn this task beyond "it is necessary."   Normally, one would describe the task, provide the context and motivation to learn, then describe the steps of the task and the standard to which the task has to be performed.  Once this is described, it is useful to demonstrate it while describing it again, then allow the employees to do it hands on.\n\nExamples are good, as are letting them know what the parameters are for completion (time limit, and other standards).  \n\nYou can use any means to present the presentation.  There is some research that says that visual aids help.  Some studies are showing that powerpoint is only useful as an outline for visuals, and that it is overdone often.  Depending on the task, you have to pick the appropriate training aids.  Testing a circuit would require different props than learning the process for testing software, for example.

Using multimedia such as Power Point presentations provides a visual "hook" to invest the child's interest, and focuses their attention on the concepts you are incorporating into your lessons.

It is now as necessary as a pen or pencil.  The elementary school in my area not only have Smart boards, projectors, and Dell pcs in each classroom but also shared laptops between classrooms.  The problem is that they are not well maintained, locked down(software/antivirus/filtered) as much as they can be.  The other problem is that the 5th graders know more than the teachers as to how these freakin things work.  A couple of teachers couldn't even use the Smart board and used the black board the whole year!!\n\nThis is jus a tool NOT the answer for all the ills in the classroom.  Teachers and parents must be proactively involved in the child's education to make these become helpful tools.  School boards and teachers must provide the proper curriculum, teachers must be trained, and students must be guided properly to make it worth placing in classes.

First, don't take an answer about education from someone who can't spell "phonics."\n\nYour question doesn't specify whether you're focusing on the teaching part of education, or the learning part of education, or both!\n\nThe personal computer is probably the most significant (and obvious) invention that aids in education.  As a teacher, I use a document projector in the classroom almost every day, which saves on paper and is a big improvement over the overhead project that used transparencies.  But the piece of technology that probably gets used the most in my educational setting is the copy machine!

To give an effective presentation is to make sure you leave an impact with the audience. You can have all the information in your hand but if you dont present it correctly its going to end up dull and boring, right?\n\nthat was me before.. reading off pieces of paper and shaking.. then one I decided to think 'oh f*ck it im going to go out there and make a killer presentation' because really, nobody really cares what kind of speech you made 10 years later. \n\nThis is what you should do:\n- Use powerpoint if you can. When making the slides, do not put more than 3-4 dot points. Each dot point is a very short line or sentence. During your presentation you will expand on each point. Keep animations to a minimum as they are annoying. the focus is on you, not the powerpoint. \n\n- Practise Practise Practise. This helped me a lot in my preparation. Me and a friend both had presentations on the same day. So on the day before it was due, we booked a lecture room and presented each others speeches until we both memorized them without using hand notes. We probably spent 3 hours in that room criticizing each others speeches until they were perfect without mumbling or forgetting things. This was for a 7 minute presentation. \n\n- Project your voice. You will get used to it with practise\n\n- Dress appropriately. if you are a serious presenter, dress serious. If its a more casual approach, dress as such. \n\n- Audience participation - this is a tough one. people say do it, people say don't. Have the participation question ready. If people seem active then use it. If you feel the audience doesnt want to participate, then don't do it. It really depends if is a requirement or not. The best time to do this is at the beginning of a presentation where the audience is most active and engaged in your speech. you want to let them think about what you are going to talk about about - this will help them listen more into your speech. I would recommend just yes/no type questions where people put their hands up. its a little more difficult to solicit verbal responses but if you can do it, even better

I believe you have to edit the pictures outside of the PowerPoint, though MS may have added an editor within PowerPoint.  Have you tried just double-clicking on an image to see what happens?  It might invoke a photo editor.
