Inspired by the fast-paced slide presentations by Larry Lessig, I’ve decided that the presentations I create will be built like a video, not like a lecture. Slides will illustrate my talks like pictures illustrate the words in a book. The idea will be to use the power of emotion that images produce to emphasize whatever point I’m making. Visual presentation will be used to reinforce the verbal presentation.
I have a few months until my next GPS presentation at Conn Elementary so now might be a good time to practice this new technique.
Is it a coincidence that Mark focuses on presentation slides on the same day that Seth Godin discusses it in his blog?
“The 200 slide solution”

Probably not… I bet Mark reads Seth’s blog, too.
Funny, when Seth was talking about “one word on a slide”, I also though about Larry Lessig’s excellent talks. We can only hope to be such good presenters as Lessig. Good luck with that, Mark!
