I use both power point and the whiteboard (and handouts and activities and film
clips and ...).
I find PP useful because I can make changes easily and everything is in one
place (rather than keeping a binder with overheads). And I agree with the
others that one should not just read PP slides. I use them as reminders for me,
as main points, for presenting different graphics (for example, different views
of the brainstem) in the hope that it makes the points more clear.
I also explain stuff on the white board (usually process-related).
I think it is a good tool if you make good use of it.
But I don't think one should always bow to student wishes. My students complain
that I don't have the PP slides on line along with a set of class notes!
(Although, I probably will start putting stuff online such as PP slides and
quizzes next year--but not because they want me to, but because I want to.
Honestly, really, I'm not bowing to their pressure--for sure, perhaps, at
least I think so :-) Skinner would no doubt say differently!
