At the KLA conference last week, Don McMillan was our closing keynote speaker.   He was funny and engaging as he discussed technology and libraries.  However, during his presentation he describes what “not to-do” when using powerpoint.  See the video below, Death by PowerPoint.  Compare his funny version of what “not to-do” to the handout I use with students –  powerpoint.  Which do you think is more engaging with students?  Yes, the funny one.  It got me thinking of how I could do a better job of using humor during instruction.
