Power Point Limitations Helping Volunteers Step up to the Plate PowerPoint is a great tool to add visual learning to a message and the more senses that are involved in learning the better. But the overuse of PowerPoint can be detrimental to a message. A personal peeve of mine is when PowerPoint is used to display Bible verses. While it is simpler and a timesaver to have everyone on the same page for the Biblical text, posting the Bible verses denies every teen the opportunity to open their Bibles and find the text themselves. It denies them the opportunity to learn the books of the Bible and how to look things up in the Bible. It denies them the opportunity to connect with the Bible passage as they read it out of something personal to them which is their own Bible. Just maybe this time of opening up their own personal Bibles will encourage them to do the same at home. That is a maybe that I invest in every time I teach.
