How you mesh the digital slides and design with the content you deliver makes all the difference. And so it goes with PowerPoint presentations: if you fill them with bad content and design, your presentation flies right out the window. Microsoft word doesn’t tell beautiful (or awful) stories, the author does. The truth is, whether you use PowerPoint or Prezi or anything else, you can’t blame the software for the presentation. And the result? Just as bad, if not worse visual presentations in many cases (trust me, Prezi doesn’t solve the world’s problems the zoom-in, zoom-out feature has lost it’s novelty it’s obnoxious). So what was the reaction? Students in my program latched onto Prezi or SlideRocket or even Wix-which is actually a web design program. In fact, during graduate school, my program director actually told us at one point that we couldn’t use PowerPoint for our comprehensive exams (which is an oral presentation in front of all the faculty and students required for graduation) because PowerPoint slides were too cliche, too dull, too obnoxious, too outdated, or whatever other undesirable quality you might slap onto a digital presentation platform. PowerPoint has gotten a bad rap over the years.
