Powerpoint perspective!

Powerpoint can be an extremely useful tool; however sometimes it can be extremely frustrating when there is a bad powerpoint presentation.  There are a few things when watching a powerpoint presentation that can be extremely distracting.  When there is too much animation, I feel it definitely takes away from the information given.  It can also prolong the presentation if they animate each little thing.  Another thing I dislike about powerpoint presentations is when there is too many images.  In addition it can be extremely boring when there is no images at all.  The creator should find a balance between the two.  Another pet-pieve of mine is when there is too many words on the powerpoint.  There is so much information that I tend to zone out after only a few words.  The last aspect of a bad powerpoint presentation that I dislike is when there are too many colors.  If there are too many colors then the powerpoint doesnt seem consistant, and it is easy to get lost.  Powerpoint can be extremely useful in the classroom or business setting.  One example of a well used powerpoint is in my Trinity principles of marketing class.  Professor Davis gives us a powerpoint with a few blanks and then in class we can follow along with the completed powerpoint she presents.  Her powerpoints only include the important information, and I'm always intrigued by the information in the powerpoint and what she has to say that goes along with it.  I'm excited by learning more about powerpoint through this class!
