Have you ever sat through a bad Powerpoint presentation?
If you are a teacher to business students, at some point it will be a good idea to cover what NOT to do in a Powerpoint presentation.
This video pretty much covers it, and made me laugh at the same time

Sorry everyone for taking a long Hiatus. As you know, I also run another successful website, and we’ve been so busy updating that in the past 6 months that I’ve literally had no time to write.
…but I’m back on the lookout for good interviews, websites, and whatever else I think is worth your while. Would you like to be interviewed? Drop me a line.
Please check back often and please, please leave a comment to motivate me!
I would love to hear what you want me to blog about.
Cheers,

Here is another interview.
Unfortunately someone beat me to the interview, so I didn’t do this one. Darn, I’ve been so busy lately.
It’s not related to owning a school, but as a software company owner myself, I thought it was entertaining enough to blog. Post your comments! Are you an APPLE or PC user? Why?

An interesting question was submitted to me from an audience member when I requested them a while back, and I had time to pose the question to Steve Nishida at the end of my interview.
The question was:
“Is it possible to be focused on excellence in Education AND be focused on making a profit at the end of the month,
or does it have to be one OR the other?”

I recently attended the ETJ Chubu Expo 2006 in Nagoya held on November 22nd. There were some interesting presentations by fellow ETJ members. I attended two of these presentations.
The first presentation I saw was entitled, “Understanding the Alphabetic Code.” I found the presentation itself easy to understand due to the fact that the speaker, Peter Warner, had prepared a clear handout that mirrored each point he wrote on the board.
He explained some fascinating differences between Japanese & English. For example,
Peter points out that, “English text is alphabetic code for English speech sounds” & one can improve his or her teaching when one understands this alphabetic code.
What is that code? That is something you’ll need to ask Peter.
If you didn’t already know, Peter is the developer of “A-Go Man Products“, a flashcard based phonics program for children. He has some more info on phonics on his website.
