Powerpoint slides can be so boring....not to mention filled with information. i was taguht "rules" of powerpoint in high school and have tried painstaknly at times to follow them. As a result i generally have a pretty good powerpoint presentation. However i have also seen some pretty bad powerpoints. One was at a confrence. the speaker had font that was too tiny to read from far away, and most of this speech was on the slide, it wasn't just highlights or important words, but information that could have been left out, and spoken to us.
Another thing i see pretty frequently at times is font colors that blend into the background, for what ever reason. usually i see this when people are using a photograph as a backgorund, and there is no color that won't blend in so they choose the color that blends in the least. A different picture could be chosen, or you could even stick to the same solid color background.
It takes some effort to make powerpoint slide...at least interesting, with making them interactive...hopefully this week we will learn ways to make them more interactive.
