Generally when I teach a class, I try to tell a story, and use the slides as a background, rather than use the slides to tell a story. Sometimes, when I'm relatively new to teaching a specific class I will use the slides as more of a crutch than I prefer however. I also think that using a whiteboard, demoing, and engaging the students in a discussion is more effective than a simple slideshow. It turns out a lot of people agree with me. Here is a slideshow explaining why slideshows are not the best way to teach. My favorite comment is ""Your slideshow by itself should be incomprehensible, because the most important part is what is not on the slides." If the slides stand completely on their own, then instructors aren't necessary, and the students might as well be reading a book.
Digital slides are the scourge of higher education
PowerPoint is the great tool to use it for the classroom presentation, and there is no need to create graphic design for your each new PowerPoint presentation you can just download some Professional PowerPoint Templates sure it will save your time and improve your presentation. Good luck.
