PowerPoint wastes money? wait!?!?! what!?!?

TED is an amazing resource... YouTube for thinkers is what I like to call it. Every now and then, there is a TED Talk that makes some amazing points. John Bohannon's modest proposal demonstrates the value of the arts while questioning PowerPoint... if you get bored by the first few minutes of talk about science and atoms that are at absolute zero (which is anything but boring) you can skip ahead until about 6 minutes when he talks about the $250 million per year cost of PowerPoint and the illusions that accompany it... think about his assessments and use those as a lens the next time someone starts up PowerPoint in a faculty meeting.

After watching this, I am thinking John Bohannon needs to be hired as a consultant for middle school reform-- you know to get middle school back into middle school!
