I assume that everyone by now has been on Teacher Tube to the the “How Not to Use PowerPoint” demo at: http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=3e2d61891b1e4051ef75 and one is reluctant to recommend any more agony and death by this ubiquitous tool, but here is one that goes beyond the basics and into actual recommendations to create interactive learning experiences rather than passive ho-hum sequences. Perhaps if teacher librarians have developed their own repertoire of techniques to really use PowerPoint to teach, then those techniques will rub off on the teachers as we use our techniques to demonstrate effective ways. Folks are likely to pay attention when they thought they were going to sleep through your five-minute slide show. So, take my word for this one: there are enough ideas here to make the purchase and use worthwhile. Yes, you can get hundreds of tutorials on the web. Scan this one. Mark the ones you like. Have your geek squad prepare a sample for you and teach you how, and you are on your way. Don’t sweat the details. Recommended not only for beginners, but intermediate folks.
