A Couple Professors' Opinions

http://lsi.typepad.com/lsi/2007/01/rethinking_powe.html

This is a link I came across when researching the use of Powerpoint in the classroom. It begins with a Law School professor stating all the negative aspects of Powerpoint, saying MindManager (made by Mindjet) is better. Although I find some of his opinions valid, I also don't necessarily think he knows everything there is to know about Powerpoint, because then he wouldn't be saying things like 'it flattens my presentations', etc. When we all know that there are certain things we can do to make sure our presentations on PowerPoint are not 'flat'.

It is interesting to read the rest of the comments (it is posted in a forum format). Many of the people who respond to him are either fellow Law Professors or students of law, giving their opinions. Check it out - it is very interesting!
