I think that ppt can be a very great tool in the lecture scene of a large university. I have had great experiences w/ ppt on that level. I don't think that I will use it in my elementary classroom, there are definately better ways of teaching that from ppt. However, at a large university like UM or UW when there are 200+ people in the classroom, it is extremely helpful to have a ppt presentation availible for everyone to see, not just the front row of the class looking at what has been writtin on a white board! (and I am a front row seater!) I would be interested in knowing the link of that article! I would like to comment on the “Evils” of power point.

We will always have room in our lives for "real life" even if virtual reality exists. I'm not sure that I accept the notion that the "new" always replaces the "old." Technology allows us to rethink our current choices, but maybe also to appreciate them in a different way.
