Most of us have sat through too many bad PowerPoint presentations. People tend to put too much text on the screen and use features that distract the audience and take their attention away from the speaker. This short video illustrates my point in an entertaining way.

It is possible to create effective PowerPoint presentations. This Death by PowerPoint presentation gives some good pointers. You can also find good resources on Amazon.
Once you have a good presentation you may wish to share it with others. Slideshare is a nice website for doing this. This is one way to share your presentations with your students or conference attendees.
If you are aware of other good resources for creating effective presentations, please share them with us.

The video was very funny...and very true! We've all endured those poor PP presentations too many times! Let's stop the madness :-)
