Many people have very strong - mostly negative - opinions about Powerpoint. The
phrase "death by Powerpoint" has been used (some would say over-used) to describe the
painful experience of sitting through a bad Powerpoint presentation. The sentiment can be summed up by borrowing and adapting a phrase from Security
Consultant and blogger
Steve Riley
- Powerpoint is "... the
place where knowledge goes to
die."
While we don't disagree with critics that the use of Powerpoint is part of an ever-present misconception that technology fixes things or makes things better, we're not here to pile on - instead we'd like to offer some ideas to make Powerpoint more effective in your classroom. |
