: PrawfsIn defense (or praise) of PowerPoint
By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel
No, not me. This piece by the tech columnist at Slate, making the basic point that the problem is not PowerPoint but bad PowerPoint.
He argues that PowerPoint is appropriate only if two conditions are met: 1) You are speaking to a large audience and 2) Your topic must be one that benefits from visuals; absent those conditions (which is true for most law classes and most legal-scholarship presentations), do not use PowerPoint. He also argues that PowerPoint is not appropriate for bullet points or pointed lists/outlines. Also, check out this list of most annoying PowerPoint practices--top of the chart is reading the slides.
