Using PowerPoint Effectively

Effective Teaching with PowerPoint: A Learning Theory Approach - From David M. Antonacci, University of Missouri-Kansas City.  On this page you will find a narrated PowerPoint of Mr. Antonacci's presentation at the 2004 Southwest Regional Educause Conference in which he examines teaching and learning from an information-processing perspective, using the events of instruction developed by Robert Gagne. Then, he applies these ideas to developing PowerPoint presentations that effectively support instruction. Many example slides highlighting important instructional capabilities of this technology are provided.

Effective Use of PowerPoint in Education.  Virgil Varvel shares years of presentation experience with a PowerPoint within a PowerPoint demonstrating effective presentation techniques. (From Illinois Online Network, Pointers and Clickers ... an excellent resource for brief training articles focusing on online teaching topics.)
