Anyone know of a presentation like this aimed at secondary education? As a teacher I think about the same issue - get a point - all the time. Power Point can, unfortunatly, become a useless and boring mess of stolen text and fancy slide transitions. I could see using this in an educational setting even though the aim feels business related.

Kirstie, you can find many such presentations on Slideshare... just a matter of weeding through them. Here's a lighthearted approach to the many concepts that students might relate to: http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint-slidefest/do-and-dont.aspx

The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Paper versus Screens - Scientific ... - 25 views
-
The matter is by no means settled. Before 1992 most studies concluded that people read slower, less accurately and less comprehensively on screens than on paper. Studies published since the early 1990s, however, have produced more inconsistent results: a slight majority has confirmed earlier conclusions, but almost as many have found few significant differences in reading speed or comprehension between paper and screens. And recent surveys suggest that although most people still prefer paper—especially when reading intensively—attitudes are changing as tablets and e-reading technology improve and reading digital books for facts and fun becomes more common.
-
Compared with paper, screens may also drain more of our mental resources while we are reading and make it a little harder to remember what we read when we are done. A parallel line of research focuses on people's attitudes toward different kinds of media. Whether they realize it or not, many people approach computers and tablets with a state of mind less conducive to learning than the one they bring to paper.
-
Both anecdotally and in published studies, people report that when trying to locate a particular piece of written information they often remember where in the text it appeared. We might recall that we passed the red farmhouse near the start of the trail before we started climbing uphill through the forest; in a similar way, we remember that we read about Mr. Darcy rebuffing Elizabeth Bennett on the bottom of the left-hand page in one of the earlier chapters.
