How PowerPoint is
Destroying Our Students
     (well, their creativity anyway)
A Few Questions...
●   Do your students create PowerPoints in your
    class?
●   Do your students create PowerPoints for
    other classes?
●   Do the students cram their PowerPoints full of
    text and proceed to read it aloud during their
    presentation to the class?
●   Do the students seem bored or disinterested
    in creating PowerPoints?
One Final Question...
Are You Bored
    With
 PowerPoint
     Too?
Just Say YES!
Step Away From The
   PowerPoint...
No One
Will Get Hurt.
But I Know PowerPoint!
Relax
