Podcast 192 – Powerpoint and Meth – Presentation Creation from #TTC - a podcast by Scott D. Weingart, MD FCCM
from 2017-02-06T20:02:55
People have a tendency to blame powerpoint (or keynote) for the horrible presentations they are forced to sit through. But the slides are merely an external manifestation of a deeper problem, just like the teeth of a meth addict.
For the past two years, I have been speaking at The Teaching Course in NYC. Two years ago, I gave a 60-minute talk on presentation creation (you can see that original talk below). This year, the course directors reduced my time to 30-minutes...resulting in a tighter and much better talk. That is what I am posting today.
