Having the Brains, Heart, and Courage to Do Presentations without PowerPoint

featuring:


Corinne Stavish, humanities professor at Lawrence Technological University

Edward Tufte of Yale, Sherry Turkle of MIT, and Clifford Nass of Stanford have all warned against using PowerPoint in the boardroom and classroom. What then is left for those who want to be dynamic presenters? Dare we abandon lackluster laptop presentations? What should we do instead? Corinne Stavish, College Professor and Director of the Technical and Professional Communication Program at Lawrence Technological University, will demonstrate strategies to engage an audience with memorable presentations.
