Article Du Jour - the Deficiencies of Powerpoint

Recently, I have moved away from using powerpoint in meetings for the very reasons enumerated in this article:


"We Have Met the Enemy and He is PowerPoint"

According to the article, PowerPoint "stifles discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision-making."

    I think Power Point gets a bad rap. It's the user to blame, not the tool.

    Lee,

    I think PowerPoint is useful in making a presentation but not as useful in generating discussion.

    One problem with how people use PowerPoint is when a presenter tries to "bullet point" a complicated situation.
