Hi Carol, I agree with Beth. I use power point to limit my story-telling and to stick to the purpose of the class. I use video and music in all my presentations. Which also means that are gigantic. But when I talk social psych and can show clips of Jim Jones (radio clip) and Dave Koreshen....it still knocks my socks off! Worth publishers has a set of ppts for Intro that have embedded video. I also have a copy of them,but I do not use them in class. I also have available to my students a "clean" set of ppt with missing sentences and words which makes coming to class important.
