Finally!!!
I *totally* 100% enthusiastically agree with this David Pogue's blog post re the overuse of power point.
With my fellowship over the past year I've gone to many technical workshops and trainings. I found the best workshops were the ones that *did* not use power point. As a matter of fact I took in a lot more when I had to delineate which ideas were most interesting to me and take notes on those items. The *worst* is when folks just read off the power point bullet points, I'm like, well either we need you or we need your pc, not both!

OMG, Andre, I have been complaining about inefficient, stupid use of powerpoint by professors all year. They cram too much information into a slide, rush through it, and then you're trying to decide if you should go with what they're saying or what they put on the screen as more important. I rather just take my own notes. And then if the computer doesn't work, class can't begin until the power point is functioning. Yeesh!
Thanks for the post.
