MS Publisher is Microsoft’s response to Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. The software is included in some editions of Microsoft Office, focusing on small-business owners who don’t have dedicated designers making their print marketing materials and other documents. It’s main focus, as I said, is print, while PowerPoint’s focus is presentations.
PowerPoint focuses on presentations. Publisher enables students to provide evidence that they have thoroughly learned a topic (using text, images, graphic organizers) but doesn’t include the distractions (or enrichments) of sound, movement, audio. PowerPoint can include these to enhance a message, but risks obfuscating the true meaning by the multitude of media. This can distract from the authenticity of learning, enabling students to hide behind the bling.
A Publisher project is easily converted to pdf and added to class websites, emails, etc. PowerPoint loses much in a conversion. The only way it can retain its pizazz is through the original software. Yes, there are slideshow widgets (like Slideshare ), but students lose the motion, sound, videos, maybe more with them.
Chukua hizo kijana atleast.
