This is a great idea by Dan Meyer. See the winner here and the finalists here. Next time you have to introduce yourself using powerpoint – try something like these people have done. Great stuff!
And make sure you read the retraction – a great recommendation for Apple’s Keynote.
Thanks for pointing people at the slides. As the ex-winner ;), I have posted my reasons for withdrawing, and also a fuller explanation of some of the decisions I made when putting the slides together, on my blog if you are interested.
Cheers!
Neil – I did read your explanation and found it very insightful. I hope others read it too – as it’s a good example of how to really use effective communication and the various tools we have at our disposal. And as Mac person myself, it just reinforced my views about Macs – and Keynote.
