I really enjoyed reading Presentation Zen. Personally, I hate that I have to teach PowerPoint because I think that it is WAY overused and that we can teach other technology that does the same thing. Outside of our PowerPoint unit, I encourage students to use other software that can convey the same message. Presentation Zen is one of those books they should require all teachers to read. I’ve seen some pretty content heavy presentations.
Learning about the concept of digital storytelling was also very cool. It was something I had never heard of before and definitely different than what I thought it was.
In this class I hope to learn how to embrace (if that’s the right word) PowerPoint and how it make it better than it really is. In my eyes, it’s dead, but I just use it because I have nothing else. I’m also very excited about incorporating digital storytelling into my classroom and learning more about it works.

We'll see how Powerpoint can enhance and not kill a presentation
