I also like to use powerpoint for my lectures as my students are very computer-savy and they appreciate this mode of instruction. However, I don't always have access to a projector and often have to compete with other instructors to check one out. This becomes an issue with the administration as we are told that there isn't any funds available for equipment purchase.
Hi Glen:
Yeah, that does seem a bit inconsistent, doesn't it. I am not the author of the lesson so I cannot comment directly. But I might conclude that the lessons in this course are not really PPT's - more continuous dialog in a wriiten format intended for an online audience.
This might be something you'd like to put in your post course comments.

I am concerned with the message pertainng to PP Presentations, specifically, the 5 bullet point rule. The slide in the lesson has a total of 14 bullet points. I'm not really sure what message is being conveyed to us as the students of this course., i.e., Modeling Behavior???
Hi Jack:
Boy, slides definitely are easier to update, especially compared to the older methods of making photographic slide presentations. This nice feature should provide up-to-date information for the students.
One technique I use occasionally will be to pull something from the local daily papers, or internet that is like news that's breaking that day, and insert it into the current set of slides. Just that little bit suggests that the following presentation is going to be current and fresh.
