Read the lesson material as well as the articles by Cox and Ellis and and also by Spencer referenced in your study materials. (You may also do further research, if desired.)

Compare at least two of the tools, examining advantages and disadvantages of each type.
Speculate about why a particular situation or setting might call for one type of software over another.
Think about classroom, social, or workplace experience you have had as an audience member for a presentation. Critique one aspect (either positive or negative) of the presenter’s use of presentation software. [MO 5.1, MO 5.2]
