When I think about teachers today, I think about that space where creativity, pressure, and innovation meet. Teachers are constantly juggling curriculum, admin, learner needs, and technology that keeps evolving. It’s exciting - but also a little overwhelming.

Understanding the powerpoint ribbon

• Tabs: These are the main categories (e.g., Home, Insert, Design) that group related tools together.
• Groups: Within each tab, you'll find groups of tools, like Font or Alignment in the Home tab.
• Commands: These are the individual tools, like Bold or Center, that you use to edit your slides.
• Contextual tabs: These appear when you select an object, like a picture, and offer relevant tools.
• Quick Access Toolbar: A customizable toolbar for your most-used tools.
• Collapse/Expand arrow: Click this to hide or show the ribbon, giving you more screen space.
