Editor’s Note: Thanks to Josh Kim (who presented an inspiring plenary at the Teaching Professor Technology conference this past weekend in Atlanta) for writing about the Power Point-Less approach I use in presentations – I encourage us all to give it a try! -Ray
… What I find intriguing about Ray’s talk is his decision to forgo PowerPoint. Ray actually worked the method into the substance of his talk, making the argument that a Web presentation is superior to a PowerPoint based presentation if your goal is to create a conversation. If you look at the link for Ray’s talk – https://sites.google.com/site/vortexoftech/ – you will see that it starts with a short pre-amble: “A word about Power Pointless! My colleagues and I at the University of Illinois Springfield Center for Online Learning, Research and Service present many national and regional workshops encouraging attendees to freely share presentation materials online using web-native tools that encourage collaboration and updating.”
