Blogcast 7: Death By Powerpoint

Published: Sept. 24, 2006, 4:52 p.m.

b'Many people have very strong - mostly negative - opinions about Powerpoint. The\\nphrase "death by Powerpoint" has been used (some would say over-used) to describe the\\npainful experience of sitting through a bad Powerpoint presentation. The sentiment can be summed up by borrowing and adapting a phrase from Security\\nConsultant and blogger\\nSteve Riley\\n- Powerpoint is "... the\\nplace where knowledge goes to\\ndie."

\\nWhile we don\'t disagree with critics that the use of Powerpoint\\nis part of an ever-present misconception that technology fixes things or makes\\nthings better, we\'re not here to pile on - instead we\'d like to offer some ideas to\\nmake Powerpoint more effective in your classroom.
