Powerpoint is the new standard. It can be used with imbedded video, music, recorded speech, ect. As long as the classroom suports this technology, it should be used. But many classrooms don't.

Most of my seminars are very general in scope. They cover very broad areas of national security and serve as much as a way to develop collaborative networks as they do as an educational tool. Attendees are senior national security professionals who have very specific duties and responsibilities. This means little of what they learn will have immediate, pratical application. Rather, enhanced understanding of goals and challenges helps guide decisions. How do I motivate attendees at this level?
