Great video. I disagree with the "no using templates" idea, as I make my own which is very minimal and basic so attention is kept. However, my school is full of students who just throw animation and sounds in their presentations EVERYWHERE. So I'm totally against animations and transitions. Thanks :D

I must ask where you got a lot of your information. It seems that your work on this presentation took a lot of liberties with other people's work. In particular, right at the very beginning I noticed a very significant parallel with "Five ways to reduce PowerPoint overload" by Cliff Atkinson and Richard E. Mayer. I'd love to see your bibliography, especially when it seems that you take images and ideas right from other people's work.

Obviously this is a mash up of various people including Atkinson, Lessig and Godin. This is clearly stated at the end of the video. While I do not clearly list sources and perhaps I should have, there is little in the way of standardization in terms of attribution. Since 2006 I have become better at citing sources in this new age of copyright and mashups. Clearly it's within the bounds of acceptable use and I do attribute sources, albeit not in traditional formats.

Thank you for taking the time to constructively point out why I have always made fun of powerpoint presentations!!!! I am a graduate student preparing to teach my first class next semester so your sound, well presented tutorial is very much appreciated. I am passing it along to my classmates so that we can all avoid those horrible pitfalls.

Excellent vid. Your vid is an excellent resource and an absolute tribute to the educational qualities of youtube (although few and far between)

Excellent! Great Instructions... I'm making some applications now! Thank you for bringing this to us. I appreciated the "Tell A Story" reminder when creating slides. Grateful!
