How to use Powerpoint?

I'm sure every one of us has been at a presentation when all you want to do is groan at how Powerpoint has been used to create the accompanying slides.

Powerpoint is widely used by most people in society, and within education especially you'll probably come across more than your fair share of Powerpoint presentations.

When you have seen a Powerpoint presentation that is good, you know it, its not too cluttered, your not struggling to read it and keep up with the presenter, in fact you probably stopped noticing they were particularly using Powerpoint.

A colleague in the Library (Alasdair), sent around a link to an interesting and extremely apt powerpoint, entitled How NOT To Use Powerpoint.

Not only is this very funny to watch, but i'm sure you'll recognise times when some of these techniques have been used in presentations you have attended. If you do none of the things this guy does, then your Powerpoint presentation will likely be quite good.
