What’s the point?

Power Point:

one of the most popular tools of choice for giving presentations

…so far…

…why the .ppt?

What was in developer’s mind?

Ease of use

Efficacy

Freedom

Templates and tools at your fingertips to help you construct the perfect accompaniment to your

presentation

But…

“Anti Power Point” Party is coming up!

Anti Power Point Party:

Waste of time (110 m euros thrown to the wind last year)

Kills creativity

.ppt presentations are boring

It weakens motivation

=

Much better a Flip-Chart

(M.Poehm, The Power Point Fallacy)

Pros

People Visuals

It catches your attention!

…pros

user friendly:

Easy to use

Bunch of instruments

Wide range of templates

Everybody can create a powerful presentation

ConsPPT can enhance a good

presentation, not replace it!

…cons

Audience pays more attention to the slides than to the speaker

…cons

“1 hour per minute” rule

…cons

Don’t forget: do not stake everything on it!

…cons

Without a projector it loose part of his strength

Conclusions

PPT is a universal standard

Easy to use / Efficacy

Don’t forget not to stake everything on it

If you love to be creative, you have to spend a lot of time

Old Flip-Chart could be more effective, in some occasions

Without a projector it loose part of his strength

It’s not the only one (Keynote, Prezi, etc.)

It will be almost impossible to replace it in a short time

Q&A time!

Thank you so much for your kind attention, now it’s your

turn!
