As one that has been on the delivery side for twenty some years, I think this piece misses the point. PowerPoint is a tool. If you are putting outlines and definitions on PowerPoint slides and showing them to the class, no wonder they engage themselves otherwise! Try engaging the class instead. Assume they’ve read the assigned material ahead of time. Hold them to it. Don’t use class time to mimic an audio book. Use class time to have students work with the material.
