Reflection for Microsoft PowerPoint

            My next reflection is on Microsoft PowerPoint. This technology is equitable in use since it can be used for a variety of reasons. It can be used for presentations for lesson plans, speeches, projects, a visual representation, portfolios, and much more. PowerPoint meets the flexibility in use principle since it provides a variety of choices with contrasting themes of PowerPoints. Each theme has a different set of designated color options or sometimes even graphics. It also gives you a choice of which style of slides you want to add each time, like a title slide, comparison slide, picture with caption, blank, etc. I believe the design is simple and intuitive since it provides an easy design to follow, with visible tools to help assist you in creating your presentation. The tools are overall self explanatory, but if you have trouble finding a tool, you can search for it in the toolbar the software provides. The method does not provide much perceptible information, though. There are not many different modes, from pictorial, verbal, and tactile and does not provide special devices for those with sensory limitations. This software does provide the tolerance for error principle with the editing technique called “undo” that helps avoid unneeded errors. The software is designed to be of little maintenance for making a simple presentation, making Microsoft PowerPoint t0 be of a low physical effort design. This technology is computer-based and therefore does not meet the principle of size and space for approach and use. There are no accommodations provided in this software for the physical needs of people with disabilities or special needs.
