This document provides tips for using a PowerPoint presentation (PPT). It recommends:
1) Freely downloading, editing, and modifying the PPT and adding your name.
2) Not worrying about the number of slides, as half are blank except for the title to facilitate discussion.
3) Showing blank slides first to ask students what they know about the topic, then showing the content slide.
4) Rerunning the show at the end with the same interactive format.
5) This approach facilitates active learning through three revisions of the material.
6) It is also good for self-study by thinking about a topic first before reading the content slide.
