PowerPoint – a quick rant

| 7 Comments

I’m sitting in an A3WP tech workshop brainstorming with our summer institute teachers about what makes a PowerPoint presentation ineffective, boring, confusing and/or painful to sit through.

Here are some of our thoughts:

  • Too much writing on a slide
  • Horrid color combinations
  • Background sounds
  • Spelling and grammar errors
  • Too many objects or words flying in

Don McMillan’s MySpace video does a great job of summing up bad PowerPoints – [kml_flashembed movie="http://lads.myspace.com/videos/vplayer.swf" width="430" height="346" fvars="m=1529637984;type=video" wmode="transparent" /]

Check back soon for a link to Bee Foster’s handout of PowerPoint do’s and dont’s.
