I read the article and I feel that there is much truth in it.
Powerpoint should be used to reduce to the essence something that has been
worked out in detail beforehand. The preparing of a powerpoint presentation
must be the last stage of a process and not the first. If it helps students
to present the essence of something succinctly - not an easy task, then it
can be a valuable tool.

Have a good year
