Hi Deborah:
Many PPT's have the potential to gain ttention, but for me, they take effort, time, and thought in the planning and formating to mae that happen.
One thing is the PPT is only a tool to learning, therefore, it should not dominate the lesson, just be a means of conveying information. There are many just as good alternatives to PPT that can be considered In fact, mixing up media makes for a more interesting presentation any way.

Hi James:
I agree - sometimes there are helpful slides but basically publisher slides are a brief outline of selected parts of the text. The image library can be a bit more useful and help make my personalized slides a bit more interesting and informative.

I will always have to edit ppts from the publisher. Its not that the slides are bad, but I find the whole presentation incomplete occasionally.
Hi Kathy:
Putting together good PPT's takes a lot of thought and planning for them to convey what thebteacher is wanting to convey. Better PPT's provide an outline for the teacher to follow in a lecture or discussion.
Personnaly, I feel the PPT's that come from the publisher are not as good as the individually designed ones.
