You could use PowerPoint at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy for a variety of lessons, but for this example we will use the example of derivation in math. We would begin the powerpoint with a few slides doing example problems on exponents and limits to cover "knowledge". Then we would move on to breaking down derivation in the next few slides for "comprehension". Then, for "application", I would use the limit definition of a derivative to apply current knowledge to what we are learning with example problems and step by step solutions in the powerpoint. Then I would have a slide with some problems and have them try taking the derivative and using the limit definition and follow that up with slides of my own comparison for "analysis". Then, with these comparison slides still up, I would have a discussion with the class on the merits of both approaches and which they preferred to cover "synthesis". Finally, I would have them each write three problems of their own and pass it to the person on their right, and when that person was finished pass it to the right again and have the third person try the other method, and finally pass it to a fourth person on their right to compare the two results for "evaluation". While this method does not require powerpoint, having the problems worked out and organized in their slides makes the lesson much smoother.
