Alternate Powerpoint Styles: Lessig, Hardt, and Kawasaki (posted by ~Aja)

There are some scholars and researchers that maintain that traditional PowerPoint presentations are boring and that to engage the current student population, one has to move away from preformatted design and bulleted presentations to alternate forms of presentations. Over the course of this week, I will be looking at three diferent styles of  PowerPoint (PP) presentations: Lessig Method aka Lessig Presentation Style (Lawrence Lessig); Hardt Method (Dick Hardt)and Kawasaki Method (Guy Kawasaki)

___________________________________________________________________
Let's start with a sample PowerPoint presentation by Lawrence Lessig and discuss his method.

Technique: the use of slides with often just a single word, short quote, or a photo aligned with his narration in Flash

Computer of Choice: MAC

Presentation software: Apple Keynote

For reference: See The "Lessig Method" of presentation
