The POD’s Are Coming
Not only does this slideshow offer highly important points about opening our minds to new technology in education, but Dave Truss, author of the Pair-a-dimes For Your Thoughts blog, knows the secrets of polishing his visual material so it captures his audience’s imagination along with its intellect. This is a perfect example of ditching the tired, boring, bulleted PowerPoint. Instead, he uses engaging images that bring the text to life.
His message may seem radical to some teachers who are resistant to new technology such as handhelds and cellphones, but his approach is so provocative and convincing that I can’t imagine audiences refusing to entertain his ideas, at least long enough to peek into the possibilities while going along for the ride.

Thank you Sharon!
I also appreciated your editing skills and I value the way digital connections can become so meaningful. It begs the question, “Wouldn’t our students benefit from this kind of connectedness too?”
You are right that this may seem radical to some, but it’s time we got over that wall too!
Dave
Sharon,
Thank you for posting this presentation! I am a huge fan of Dave’s presentations. They are incredible. I wish all teachers would create dynamic presentations like these for their students.
