Computer Slide Shows: A Trap for Bad Teaching
Klemm, W. R.
College Teaching, v55 n3 p121-124 Sum 2007
Slide shows presented with software such as PowerPoint or WordPerfect Presentations can trap instructors into bad teaching practices. Research on memory suggests that slide-show instruction can actually be less effective than traditional lecturing when the teacher uses a blackboard or overhead projector. The author proposes a model of classroom teaching that capitalizes on the advantages of slide shows without the pedagogical disadvantages. (Contains 1 note and 2 figures.)
