New My Blog
These articles are also talking about whether or not PowerPoint is good or bad. One of the guys that are writing this article claims that PowerPoint is bad, and he explains it in his article. The other guy, defends PowerPoint, finding faults with the guy against PowerPoint, he has all this in his article. The girst article is about the guy who is against PowerPoint. He says that PowerPoint is bad because he thinks that people learn more when they are graphs, which include loads of data. He says the example of the incident with the NASA project wher the guys presented their slides, which had very much writing in it that no one could even understand it. He says that the bullet point way of presenting information is not smart and it was encouraged by PowerPoint. He also says that when you add animation and other colours and stuff, it making the presentation ridiculous and you are distracting the readers. Now, the guy who is defending PowerPoint has a lot of good points that he makes. Some of the things he said are that the guy, who is oppsoing PowerPoint, is wrong because he says that the people dont necessarily learn when they have huge amounts of data like huge graphs thrown at them. He says that PowerPoint is not the first source of teaching that using the bullet points for presenting information. He says that people used bullet points even before computers were invented on boars and paper and other things. He is really right. He also says that the design you give to a PowerPoint, the other guy calling it distractions, are actually good beacuse it stops boredom in the pwople and grabs their attention. He says that people learn better with bullet points because if they were to read paragraph, they would read it and think over but not really process any of that information in their minds. When people read a presentation that consists of bullet points, they read the bullet points and they think more on the subject because not much information is given about it. In doing so, they learn better because they are thinking more deeply into it. I agree with what the good guy says. He also says it is not that PowerPoint is bad, bu the people use it badly, I agree.

I agree with the guy who is defending powerpoint. He makes some good points about how bullet points are useful to remember. But animations do not help because they are distracting, not useful for teaching. But the design of the slide actually makes it more appealing. Also graphs and similar stuff are actually useful and helpful to learn as they are more visual. But paragraphs and bullet points are not better than each other as paragraphs give more information and bullet points give smaller amounts that are easy to memorize.
