TEACHING TIPS: BEYOND POWERPOINT
Let’s look at presentations in two stages. The first stage is delivery: the act of giving and discussing your presentation with your immediate audience. The second stage is the time after your presentation in which discussion can continue around a persistent presentation artifact. This stage usually takes place when a presentation is uploaded to a web site where comments are enabled. Different tools support each stage of your presentation differently.
Powerpoint supports the first stage of a presentation only. When you break away from Powerpoint consider how much authoring time you have available, whether or not you want a persistent artifact, and your interest in continuing the conversation after your immediate presentation. These considerations will help you decide which tool or tools to use authoring and delivering your message.
TEACHING TIPS: SLIDESHARE
