PowerPoint - Used and Abused
I taught a "Presentation Skills Workshop" that included the uses and abuses of PowerPoint. PowerPoint, like any tool can be useful in skillful hands and a disaster without the communication skills that must stand behind any presentation.
PowerPoint is not the appropriate tool for all meeting types. The "working meeting" type where a decision is expected at the end is not one I would advise.
Furthermore, PowerPoint provides many "dressing it up" features that are overused and in many cases inappropriately used.
