I was searching for a completely different video and ran across this one on TeacherTube and thought I would share it. It's funny, but the scary thing is that I know people who use Power Point like this!

I showed this to students this year and they loved it. Some of them even took the advice offered when they prepared their presentations. LOL! I also imposed a 3-word per slide rule to help get them thinking outside the template.
Caroline,
Absolutely hilarious and I've seen it done recently with white background throughout and packed with words! I was hoping he'd analyze the "Comic Sans' font people. I have to save this video on Teacher Tube. David Jakes and Dean Shareski presented on good PowerPoints at NECC and have hopefully gotten me away from ALL the words!
Thanks.
@lesley edwards - I think the 3-word per slide rule is a great idea for getting anyone to think "out of the box" regarding how to use Power Point. I feel Power Point has really hurt our students' ability to publicly speak. They have gotten too reliant on the words on the slide instead of using it as a tool to prompt and support their topic.
@mark carls Thanks for reminding me about David and Dean's NECC presentation. I need to see if that was recorded so I can watch it myself.
