//Example:// One of my favorite workshops was one we did on creating more effective PowerPoint slides. The inspiration came from this blog posting I ran across one day: []. The context was in our Truman and the Bomb Project where we ramped up the requirements for students visuals in what was their 3rd formal presentation of the year. As an activity, we had students read the article independently or in pairs, respond to some guided reading questions, and do a mini-application of the concepts. (This turned into an "extended workshop activity - we reviewed the mini-application slides as a class to discuss the ways in which they did or did not incorporate elements of good slide design)
