PowerPoint: A Fresh Approach • This session focuses on best practicesfor using one of the most common, yet frequently misused content delivery programs: Microsoft PowerPoint. • The goal of this sessionis for participants to learning how to use PowerPoint effectively. • Faculty will experiment with techniques designed not only to reveal content, but to spark curiosity, stimulate discussion, and engage learning as well. • The best way to do this is to sit back, read a bunch of slides, and listen to me babble for the ten millionth time. • When you leave you can have a copy of this awesome presentation because as every student knows, what is on the slide is what matters, right? Of course.
