ENGAGING POWERPOINTS

Bad Example

This is how not to write out slides. It can become boring and mundane to look a bunch of words on the screen. What does your student take notes on? When you can not outline, how can you expect them to outline. Too much text overpowers the brain to read all, and has no flow like outlining and discussing points of focus.
