Swiss political party tries to ban PowerPoint | Technically Incorrect - CNET News - 0 views

  • "I have an operating principle that always helps me: I don't want to be right, I only want the best result. [In] over 14 years of public-speaking training, I have noticed that the use of [a] flip chart beats PowerPoint in 95 [out] of 100 cases. This is not wishful thinking on my part but proven experience."

Teach Naked? No. Use Digital Tools, not Powerpoint. « 21k12 - 0 views

  •  
    " In it, a Dean at SMU announces his plan to require teachers to "teach naked" by banning computers from his classroom.  (The video above is an interview with Dean Bowen. )  Research cited here includes this nuggett: "59 percent of students in a new survey reported that at least half of their lectures were boring, and that PowerPoint was one of the dullest methods they saw."  No argument here.  Bowen is admirably passionate that classtime be used for more active student learning: questioning, discussing, debating ideas with their professors."

    Gulsum mentioned that she is using an interactive timeline (http://www.tiki-toki.com/) as a web-based material to teach tenses. Very nice idea. This is a new timeline I hadn't seen before, which produces a 'mashup' of maps and a time line -- very neat idea. One idea to use with students is to get them to create a short personal history of their family.
