What about the slides?

OK, OK I understand that the world of slides and overhead projectors may seem prehistoric, but is it really necessary to submit to the torture of powerpoint? I completely believe in the idea of using powerpoint as an aid and in many ways it beats having to backtrack a slide projector because the slide is in upside down, but unfortunately, powerpoint is all too often misused and abused. 

I have spent more time in powerpoint in the past month than any one person should ever have to. It's gotten to the point where I know what order their themes come in and I can skip to the page I want. AHH! I never thought it would come to this. 

Ok, ranting aside, like I said, powerpoint is a useful tool if utilized correctly, just remember if you are bored reading it, your students will be in even worse shape. I'm just saying...
