Here's the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpvgfmEU2Ck. Here is the link for Don McMillan's personal site, where he has other routines about PowerPoint and how it sucks the life marrow out of any meeting, http://www.technicallyfunny.com/.

If we all keep practicing these new ways, then most of us might learn to appreciate PP a lot better. I’ve learnt quite a lot of new ways of getting the best out of powerpoint from this blog.

In this new context, content delivery is king and I have found myself using PP as a crutch ("teleprompter" mode). I'm really keen on providing a great learning experience for my students, and will take to heart many of the admonitions in the blogs here and in the slide:ology text. However, I can't (per the book) spend 36-90 hours on each class presentation. How can I make use of these ideas, re-embrace PP in a sane fashion, and still get content ready for tomorrow's talk?

Neumeier's title premise is "Ban PowerPoint." Half the "lever" is a nice, concise list of rules that, if you follow, reduce or eliminate the need to ban. Is this bait and switch? Maybe, but it's an effective technique be initially radical to get attention and then soften your message to an acceptable set of rules. Love your posts Nancy! Happy Holidays!

I think his last point is the most useful, and least obvious, better 100 clear slides than 1 crowded one.
