PowerPoint

This tutorial could be helpful if you have no idea about powerpoint. If you have some idea, it would be hard to just find the bits you don’t know about. The formatting was very painful in a thin column on one side and a lot of scrolling. This could be avoided.

There is a lot of information in there – so comprehensive indeed. If you were using that as a tool in a guided way to help your students learn powerpoint it would be good. On its own, perhaps a bit overwhelming. Not very interactive either. Yes, there are quizzes, but it should be used in conjunction with activities designed to have a practice at using powerpoint.

It is a bit condescending with the people and the words. Maybe a story is helpful for engaging?? but it could also be a turn off. There is no quick way though it. Wow, and the more I go through it, the more insanely boring it gets!

OK, so I get the point of a tutorial – start from the beginning and cover everything. But now I know what not to do!
