PRAISE FOR POWERPOINT FOR TEACHERS

"As the complexity and sophistication of educational technology increase exponentially, it is easy to overlook the simple but still powerful teaching tools available to us all. Finkelstein and Samsonov do us a service in reminding us of just how useful and flexible PowerPoint can be as a powerful, creative, and user-friendly interactive teaching tool. With this book, any teacher interested in bringing technology into their teaching can do so, and to their students' benefit."
Dr. Robert Slater, professor, Educational Administration and Human Resources,Texas A&M University

"This how-to guide on the use of PowerPoint helps educators move into more visually oriented, interactive levels of teaching, where students are more likely to remember and use what we have taught them. I'd recommend every teacher add these simple technologies to their repertoire of teaching strategies."
Christopher Jones, chairman, department of education, Maharishi University of Management
