Putting the Power back in PowerPoint
We’ve seen plenty of bad PowerPoint presentations. Meetings
that drag on and on as a disconnected speaker faces the screen, reading bulleted
lists that are illegible, incoherent, and irrelevant. We’re to the point
where we dread entering the room and seeing a projector and screen. But
PowerPoint doesn’t kill presentations. People do!
We will discuss how to make PowerPoint work
for you—like it’s supposed to—rather than working against you. We’ll talk
about when to use it, how to use it, the best ways to use it, and what to
expect when you use it. And we’ll see plenty of examples of what’s good,
bad, and…just plain ugly.
