Powerpoint is good

After reading the article powerpoint is evil by edward tufte, there are some things that i agree and some that i don't. I agree with the fact that powerpoint being utilized in elementary schools is bad. i think elementary students should learn the basic ways of writing a report first before using presentations. However, i don't think powerpoint is all evil. depending on the presenter, powerpoint can be very useful. If the presenter knows how to elaborate on the slides and provide the necessary content that accomodates the slides. then powerpoint is really helpful. In my opinion, presentation slides should be a supplement to the presenter rather than replacing the actual presentation. Tables, graphs, and pictures can help illustrate concepts and relationships more clearly than words. For example, instead of writing a whole paragraph to explain something, presenter can just use bullets to point out the main idea and then go into details in the presentation. All the content will be there if the presenter decides to elaborate on the slides. So, the issue is not with powerpoint slides but rather the presenter. A presentation does not lack content due to the fact that powerpoint slides are utilized. It is bad when the presenter just reads from the slides and not elaborating on it.
