Re: THE COGNITIVE STYLE OF POWERPOINT

There are several good points made about the use of powerpoints in the this forum. I'll take an introspective approach on this topic as well. When I lead a discussion with my project group or subordinates I don't use powerpoints because I'm confident of my knowledge in this area. However, when I am presenting material that I am not 100% confident about, I do rely on the powerpoint. A good example is when I present to the GAP cohort. The material is usually new, I have insecurities that fellow cohorts will ask questions that I can't answer and overall, am anxious about my ability to do well due to lack of practice.
As Dr. Elio suggests, I agree that the quality of the public speaking skills should be more important than the powerpoint. I recognize that I need to work on this. I should not have powerpoints dominate my presentation, I should seek assistance in honing my presentations skills instead.
