Editors Notes for Sarah Pelham

Power point technology in class lectures. Sarah's concerns that her topic is not very "newsy." She had a a lot of resources, making an exact direction difficult. One thing she noted was that professors were extremely passionate about power points, and had a lot to say about how they felt about them. Concern is lack of focus.

Important to note: what we have talked about recently in lecture - people are visual pleased first. Such as when reading newspapers - people's eyes are drawn to graphics. I think this could be a good point in noting why power point is beneficial. But, another point to make is that power point isn't newest form of technology, and students expect more out of technology than just power point slides with typing on them.

Alternate Lede: Visual media technology has altered the way professors teach and students learn at the University of Georgia, although neither group agrees whether or not these changes are necessary.
