Have you heard of "death by PowerPoint", "PowerPoint fatigue", or "PowerPoint-induced sleep"? PowerPoint, if used poorly, can impede teaching and learning. Seminar participants will examine the pedagogical values of PowerPoint and explore teaching situations which can benefit from the use of this presentation software. The seminar will include a discussion of current practices, experiences, and success (or horror) stories about using this software as a teaching tool. PowerPoint tips, teaching techniques, and an instrument for evaluating its use in the classroom will be shared with participants.
