Slides for Students is a book about teaching with PowerPoint. The inspiration for the book was that PowerPoint offered amazing possibilities, but my presentations didn't seem very engaging to the students. The mediocre student reaction occurred even though I was following widely-used presentation standards like bullet-point formatted lists. Slides for Students is an evidence-based approach to designing better educational presentations. The focus is on teaching, but other professionals like scientists, engineers, and business people might these ideas useful too.
UNG Press is offering free pdf downloads of this book for a limited time (until August) as part of their effort to help educators cope with the COVID-19 virus emergency. This is a $40 value! I appreciate their willingness to make this special offer.

I hope you find these presentation ideas to be useful for your students. Let's work together to make the term "Death by PowerPoint" an obsolete saying!
