HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:


“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching
methods were found to be laboratory work,
computer sessions and copying lecture notes
whilst the most significant contributor to
lecture boredom in terms of teach method is
the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”


From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the
contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational
Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:


“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching
methods were found to be laboratory work,
computer sessions and copying lecture notes
whilst the most significant contributor to
lecture boredom in terms of teach method is
the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”


From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the
contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational
Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:


“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching
methods were found to be laboratory work,
computer sessions and copying lecture notes
whilst the most significant contributor to
lecture boredom in terms of teach method is
the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”


From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the
contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational
Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:


“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching
methods were found to be laboratory work,
computer sessions and copying lecture notes
whilst the most significant contributor to
lecture boredom in terms of teach method is
the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”


From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the
contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational
Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:


“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching
methods were found to be laboratory work,
computer sessions and copying lecture notes
whilst the most significant contributor to
lecture boredom in terms of teach method is
the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”


From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the
contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational
Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:


“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching
methods were found to be laboratory work,
computer sessions and copying lecture notes
whilst the most significant contributor to
lecture boredom in terms of teach method is
the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”


From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the
contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational
Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.

WORKING WITH POWER POINT: LEVEL 1

AM I DOOMED?:


“The most boring [post-secondary] teaching
methods were found to be laboratory work,
computer sessions and copying lecture notes
whilst the most significant contributor to
lecture boredom in terms of teach method is
the use of PowerPoint (without a handout)…”


From Mann, S., & Robinson, A. (April 2009). “Boredom in the lecture theatre: an investigation in the
contributors, moderators and outcomes of boredom amongst university students”. British Educational
Research Journal, 35 (2), p. 256. [Colour & italics added by me.]

Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

HOW NOT TO USE POWER POINT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

WHY POWER POINT:
Today’s “transparency”—expected
 Easily edited & shared w/ colleagues
 Easily re-versioned, stored & searched
 Can incorporate text w/ images, sound, video for
better cognition & recall
 Used in student presentations, jobs, etc.
 Can be shared prior to class to focus F2F activities






Can be used IN PLACE of lecture

Demonstrates your professional competency using
technology
Julia Hengstler PPT Level 1(August 2009)

OVERALL GOALS FOR THIS SESSION:
This session is about YOU.
 Everyone is at a different point in their learning.
 If you know the basics, feel free to explore & play.
If you need to learn the basics, stick close to the
activities outlined.
 Your classmates will likely be spending time on
exploring aspects different from yours. This is fine.
 Your goal is to learn more than you knew before
coming here—NOT to learn everything about
Power Point—or even everything in this session
during this time.
