Teaching PowerPoint to elementary students provides them with a skill set to display their ideas in an outline form when they give reports and presentations in school. This can be used for book reports, science fairs, class presentations, and speeches. Teaching the PowerPoint concepts in a simple and concise way enables the kids to retain the learned skills and apply them to a later project.

Step 3
Show them how to create a new slide by clicking the 'Home' tab and selecting 'New Slide.'
