PowerPoint- Death of Visual Literacy

Dear Students,

We would be learning the effective way of making Power Point Presentations during the course as a visually aided tool for communicating our ideas.

Therefore the question is that if PowerPoint is a visual tool, and if we are a visually illiterate society, why is this method gaining such importance.Is this kind of visual sophistication literacy? Is it a powerful tool being used wrongly?

PowerPoint: A powerful tool poorly used or a poor tool overused?

I would be happy to hear your thoughts on what other ways we can use to communicate our points impactfully to an audience. We can try these out in the class and then arrive at a conclusion on this debate. so lets explore alternate mediums to convey our thoughts.

Madhulika, could you explain your question in a better way? Couldn't really understand what you are asking..

Madhulika, the topic for the presentation is seperate from the objectivity of using PPt as a tool to communicate.

Such clarifications should be sought in class when it is in session.

Let see what you do in class now.

Good Luck!
