Title: How to Insure Power Pointlessness


1
How to Insure Power Pointlessness
  • Based in large part on a handout by eMINTS AIS
    Michelle Kendrick which was summarized from an
    article by Jamie McKenzie titled Scoring Power
    Points http//www.fno.org/sept00/powerpoints.html

2
Never give a firm deadline
  • Students can always find plenty to do with any
    amount of time
  • What they find to do will be more interesting
    than what you can imagine

3
Save Time
Blooms Taxonomy
  • Assign a knowledge-level project that can easily
    be completed by cutting and pasting. This will
    allow more time for students to add bizarre sound
    effects and transitions.

Variety
  • Use multiple
  • Backgrounds
  • Colors
  • Fonts
  • It is boring if the presentation is consistent.

Scoring Guides
  • Write the scoring guide after students have
    completed the project.
  • Make the criteria sufficiently vague that neither
    teacher nor students will have a clue what is
    expected.
  • Skew the points so that students who create an
    impressive Power Point Presentation with no
    content will earn a high score.

6
Presentation
  • Instruct students to face SMART Board and read
    directly from slides.
  • Never model effective presentation skills.

6 x 6 Rule
The 6 x 6 Rule wastes valuable slide space. If a
person watching a presentation does not have
enough attention span to read more than six words
down and six words across he/she should work on
increasing his or her attention span. The
presenter should not pander to such immature
needs. Anyone who is not willing to read a slide
filled with text should not bother attending a
presentation. It is easier for the presenter to
include every detail on the slide so that when
he/she reads the entire slide to the audience
he/she will not need to remember anything else or
refer to notes to complete the presentation.

Planning
  • Just go for it!
  • Do not encourage storyboarding or use of graphic
    organizers to pre-plan content.
