Power Point is Evil? Hmm? (In-Class Blog Week 9)

Edward Tufte is completely right in what he is saying because, especially in the school systems, kids are not writing out sentences when they have to do a project and they are not really learning much from the subject they are presenting. In a Power Point elementary students and high school student use bullet points and pictures on almost every slide, I know I did atleast. Although I really like Power Points because they are easy and fast to make and you can put pictures on them. Whereas in a word document you cannot put pictures and use bullet points, you actually must write out sentences and paragraphs. There are a couple similarities between Power Point and word documents some include: the ability to transition from slide to slide or paragraph to paragraph and you must have an introduction and conclusion for both. I do agree with Tufte, Power Point does "spice" it up a little bit. And they may be good for sales in a company but not for a student in a school. Power Point is evil but I still like it!
