Every time I teach my Public Speaking and Train the Trainer workshop, participants ask me if I recommend using PowerPoint. I tell them that the first time I heard the term "Death by PowerPoint" was when my wife came home from one of her graduate school classes. She used it to describe how boring it was to sit in a class reading bullet points on a screen while the instructor pretty much read the same material from his lecture notes. I told her that the term nailed the experience for me too.

Needless to say, I have suggested that my Public Speaking and Train the Trainer workshop trainees either use Power Point sparingly, or better still, avoid using it altogether. Recently, a friend emailed a link to an article published in Sidney Morning Herald (Australia) about some interesting research that makes the case for not using PowerPoint even stronger.
