It simply means that the brain processes information more
effectively when the information is presented in pictures and
words instead of words alone. Neuroscientists have also found
that when a slide (or advertisement) contains pictures and
words, it’s best to have the picture on the left side of the
page or slide and words on the right. This is exactly what Bezos
did for a majority of his slides....I'm trying to picture — yes,
picture — doing that in a law school class. I've never used
PowerPoint or projected any kind of slide in any presentation
I've ever done, but I do write words on the black/white board
pretty often. These are never wordy, because when you write as
you speak, you aren't going to take the time to write much. But
I'm intrigued by the idea of having pictures and the notion that
it would improve understanding somehow if the profuse spoken
words and minimal written words were reinforced with pictures.
In no way am I advocating that you ditch PowerPoint. I am
recommending that you ditch PowerP
