The New York Times makes the case well.  I’ve seen a lot of powerpoints in the last year.  Some were good, a lot were superfluous (which largely removes from contention the question of their quality).  So when my portfolio presentation comes up on Monday (finally), I’m going old school.  A single-sided handout and everyone sitting around a table.

I gave another presentation this past week on being white and teaching Native students history, for which I did make and use a visual element.  I’d like to think that one was worthwhile.

Generally, I’ve been keeping my head down, working, and doing some scheming for the trans-Yellowstone trip in a few weeks.  More on the later in the near future.
