The cognitive style of PowerPoint – Edward Tufte Effective Presentations for Effective Learning

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/ppt2.html “ Elementary school PowerPoint exercises (as seen in teacher guides and in student work posted on the Internet) typically consist of 10 to 20 words and a piece of clip art on each slide in a presentation of three to six slides -a total of perhaps 80 words (15 seconds of silent reading) for a week of work. Students would be better off if the schools simply closed down on those days and everyone went to the Exploratorium or wrote an illustrated essay explaining something.” ~Edward Tufte Effective Presentations for Effective Learning
