PowerPoint presentations

PowerPoint presentations are widely used in training sessions and employee meetings worldwide. The flexibility of using PowerPoint to train large groups of people makes this application a favorite application of administrators, managers, and others. However, the very things that make PowerPoint so valuable can also make it less desirable to use for training.

Answer the following questions in a minimum 550-word paper. Cite sources if needed, following APA formatting guidelines.

  • Do you feel that every meeting needs a PowerPoint presentation to fully explain the topics? Describe your answer in detail. Remember, your post needs to be unique, and you need to explain your opinion.
  • Explain if you or disagree with the following question, “Using PowerPoint presentations in too many meetings makes me think that our business is built upon ‘cookie cutter’ ideas, meaning that we do not introduce any new concepts or information. Our information stays the same from year to year.”
  • “A PowerPoint presentation developed for training purposes should always include a speaker presenting the information. In my opinion, PowerPoint presentations cannot stand on their own.” Fully explain whether you agree or disagree with that statement.
