My presentations went pretty well today, but PowerPoint, again, was more hindrance than help in some cases.
My main gripe is that as the conversation shifts and darts around, gracefully bouncing back and forth from slides gets tough, and there isn’t a handy mechanism to quickly sketch stuff out on the fly.
I can only hope that as we enter the tablet era, I’ll be able to do a virtual whiteboard over my slides in real time as well as quickly drag/drop/slide content between slides. It’s just too cumbersome now to keep pace with the discussion.
