I would use concept maps because they help to organize and come up with ideas for topics. There are also programs on the computer called semantic networking tools that give you a more visual and verbal idea for developing concept maps.
When presenting a Power Point, to keep the audience focused, you don't need to have a lot of flashy backgrounds or a bunch of different ways of introducing new ideas. Keep it simple and to the point. Don't put too much info either. If you have a lot of info the audience is not going to read it all because they will end up getting bored with it. Also don't have a ton of videos and pics. They can be very distracting because everyone will be looking at those instead of listening and paying attention to you.
There are many writing activities tools that we as teachers and students can learn and benefit from. There are many tools such as computers, PDA's and other types of technology that can help us get information, organize and also help in presentation. If you know how to use these tools then you will be able to teach them in the classroom and that will help benefit you and your future students.
