Last year after I presented at the UMB Ed Tech conference, I checked the Twitter feed and discovered a number of very complimentary and emboldening tweets. But one (isn't this how it always is?) has always bothered me, mostly because I discovered it to be true. It claimed that my presentation was "Death by PowerPoint." Well, if you aren't afraid of dying via digital slides, you might want to check out the screen capture of the session I ran with my students, Christine Sands, Kate Unruh, and Adam Overbay during this year's conference. As I noted in my last post, I blogged about this presentation earlier, so if you fear redundancy, don't click the link. In any case, I thought I'd share it with you to see if you had any thoughts about the presentation, be they about the content of the presentation, the presentation style, or the use and abuse of PowerPoint. I'm not happy with my use of slides, but I really like to avoid handouts when I can. If for no other reason, I would suggest checking it out to hear from some brilliant students!
