Teachers often give the students the assignment to present a powerpoint without really going over some of the basic tenents of a good presentation...

These are just some ideas, tips, helps, I personally think we need to move beyond powerpoint in our classrooms.. it has already become somewhat pointless.. We need to encourage our kids and teachers to move to the higher thinking skills..
