Power Point- Greg Knapp

I don’t agree with one word that Edward Tufte is saying. Power Point has revolutionized the way that teachers and schools work. When Power Point came out, I remember all of my high school teachers using it. The teachers would obviously not be using it if it was ineffective. It is a more organized way of learning and teaching that has had positive results. Even in college, most of my professors use it. What Tufte said about the slides not having enough information is easily disproven. For example, in my Life on Planet Earth class, all we use is Power Point. The teacher will read the main idea and then talk about it, giving important information. I believe that I had about 2,000 words in notes for my last exam. Power Point is an amazing program that I strongly believe in.
