It’s always hard to keep students engaged and listening during a class and especially so during a long one. Here are five “low tech” suggestions for teaching with slides from a university professor:
- Design the slides so that certain content is missing, allowing for interaction and construction with the students
- Project the slides over a whiteboard
- Use markers to fill-in-the-blanks and to comment/expand on the content
- Invite students to take notes and build the content during the class
- Take a digital photograph of the whiteboard before erasing.
Here are some photographs I received from him that give a better idea:

Have you used this method with your presentations?

Great Ideas here!
Getting people involved is the best way to learn things.
Thanks for the Post!
That’s a cool idea. On my site, I have a tip for creating slides from audience/student input at http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/powerpoint_tip_create_slides_audience_input.html. It’s very simple, just going into Normal view and typing. This tip could be used to complete individual words.
As they say, great ideas are often the simplest, loved it
