Be honest." Every hand in the room goes up. We know it as educators, kids know it as students. The presentation really is about finding information, putting it on some slides, add some transitions and then telling the rest of the class what it is you found. Then there is the audience who is suppose to take notes on the information. A.K.A. copy the bulletpoints in bulletpoint format onto a piece of paper. Because there is so much learning in copying words from the slide to paper....NOT......and of course as you are busy copying the words you're not listening to what the presenter is saying...not that it matters they're just reading the words off the slides anyway.
