I wonder if you've seen bad presentations too!? Personally, animation for the sake of it is sickening (I don't think iOS7 has that problem contra iOS6) but done properly, it facilitates teaching (discuss...!)
I think that it helps visual learners if you take someone 'into' the point you're making, before panning back to the overall topic, and then moving on, for instance. In fact none of us think 'linear' and so done properly, I've seen it as an effective tool. Merely spinning people's heads round to make them feel giddy, is a poor use - and that's what one mostly sees of course! Remember the days when PowerPoint Animations were fashionable? A different one for every object and slide. Yeuch! It's just something I'd quite like to explore. Working for a church I speak regularly with image slides as a backdrop. I'm just wondering if strut might facilitate my communication method!
