Everything you know about PowerPoint is Wrong

Many people use PowerPoint and many others suffer when they have to sit through the presentations.

This is because many learned how to use PowerPoint before there was some research to show how we should use it.

Many people use slides with bullets and they usually read them to the audience.
Although the audience has already read the bullets before the speaker can read them out loud.

PowerPoint presentations usually aim at informing (and may not care if the audience understands what they see) or guiding learning (and then we very much do care if the audience does understand).

As a teacher I am most often concerned about crafting presentations to guide learning.

I have a copy of my presentation here.


Why not download it and view the speaker notes below each slide?
