Hi, I am an Automotive Technology Teacher at FrankHurt Secondary, Surrey, B.C. I found myself getting frustrated trying to teach automotive from books as I could never find the exact picture that I was looking for. For that reason I have recently developed some of my lesson plans using powerpoint which I am finding to be an invaluable teaching tool. I have since noticed a very positive influence on the students, most notably their understanding of more difficult theories. The aspect of using animation in a Power Point slide show allows me to show students how the internal parts of an engine work as well as other mechanical parts of a vehicle, a task which is not possible from a book or even using an actual engine. I use the PowerPoints for educational purpose only. Furthermore, my students are video taping various automotive related demos and are posting them on You Tube under "frankhurtauto", check it out.
