Hi Jennifer,
Yeah, PPT is a cool tool. I try to keep in mind that PPT, along with just about any other media is a tool, and tools are needed to facilitate a class. But the facilitator needs to be the "orchestra leader", directing the tools to get the job done. With PPT, the tendancy is to overpower the focus. This is something we should avoid if possible. We want to focus on the information, not the tool that is providing the information.
