Art Stadlin: Keep Your PowerPoint Simple
Art Stadlin frequently uses PowerPoint in a church environment -- in this small conversational piece, he talks about his experiences in using PowerPoint effectively:
"I have been doing PowerPoint for our Contemporary Service at our church since 2004. We use the PowerPoint 2003 version with the PowerPoint Presenter View. We run it on a laptop running Windows XP, and we have found that it is not practical to integrate audio/video into the PowerPoint. So we don't do that at all.
