Can power point PLEASE get a new name?

I read and hear so many blog posts and edu-chatter (“Edu-chatter Copyright of Andrew Marcinek Ltd.) about evolving power point presentations. Maybe it’s just me, but, “I’m mad as hell and I can’t take the term power point anymore!” (Peter Finch would agree).

Microsoft can have one of those “Summer Fun ’08 Naming” contests on a Seattle radio station and the winner can give a _____________ Presentation on how he or she came up with the new namesake of all future presentations.

Mr. Gates, tear down this name!

I keep most of them tucked away under lessons, though you'll have to scroll down some.

Dan: What about your slides for class? Can you show us some slides and corresponding handouts? Thanks!

I was in the midst of composing a post about pbwiki (and wikis in general) for teachers when I took a break to do a little blogroll reading. And here you are posting about wikis…

Wikis of this sort seem right up your alley Dan — rather than posting your lesson materials on your own blog, you can edit and post them in collaboration with many others, on web pages that are more organized and searchable – like smaller versions of Wikipedia. Some are password protected, and others, like Wikipedia, are open to anyone to add and edit….

This is so simple and useful.

I cringe thinking about what I’ve done to parents, particularly during open house nights.

Next October will be different!

Every time I have to sit through a power point presentation I think of you. More than half of them involve almost the entire script for slides, so I end up reading it faster than they say it and get annoyed at how slowly they read. Either give me the text to read or say it to me, but don’t do both.
