(Powerpoint 2003) 

After finishing this week’s reading and content, I found the PowerPoint information very interesting. As technology has evolved, so has PowerPoint. One should move away from the traditional PowerPoint ways and look at expanding their horizon.  Throughout my education, I have seen a fair share of PowerPoint. I have been able to gather a lot of feedback on the different types of PowerPoint presentations. I have been in lectures where PowerPoint has been amazing and other times where they just put me to sleep.

For my personal experience, I have noted some personal preferences I have when viewing a Powerpoint presentation. To begin, I found that having a simple design allows the student to grasp the given information. There is nothing more daunting than when the professor shows a slide with excessive text and you have to rush to write it down. You found yourself not even listening to the information being presented and focused just on getting it all down before the next slide would be presented.
