Takahashi Method
Takahashi uses only text in his slides. But not just any text — really big text. Huge text. Characters of impressive proportion which rarely number more than ten, usually fewer. The goal, he says, is to use short words rather than long, complicated words and phrases.

Really Bad PowerPoint
Seth Godin talks about common PowerPoint mistakes and how to avoid or fix them. The purpose of PowerPoint is to communicate with your audience. Unfortunately, rather than communicating, PowerPoint is used as a teleprompter of instructor notes, as a written record of what was presented, and as slide handouts that attempt to make it easier for your audience to remember everything.

Beyond Bullet Points
Cliff Atkinson offers is a method of communicating that helps you effectively persuade, inform and educate your audiences.
