Artbot Learns to Teach with PowerPoint

Dear Mr Ray Yang,
Artbot suggests that next semester, you require that human students create a PowerPoint presentation on this Digital Literacy link. (Artbot loves the irony of this since Artbot's funny bone is made of iron. Ha ha! Artbot Pun!) (Just kidding, Mr. Ray Yang!)
Artbot thinks the presentation of the treatment of PowerPoint as a vehicle for teacher and student presentations is straightforward and nicely tongue in cheek. The quizzes are trippy, too. Check out this quiz.
Nice treatment of the subject matter. This site is a different in the fact that it seems not to be promoting an organization, business, etc. It's a site with something to say, and Artbot likes how they say it.
Ah, what the hell, Artbot also gives this site an A for Artbot.

  1. Artbot puns are pretty solid material. I've seen much worse from humans.

    Now that I've been reduced to trading puns with a digital manifestation of one of my students....yes, the site presents some material in a very straightforward and simple manner. but as someone else has pointed out, it almost feels too simple. is there something lacking in complexity? or does it strike a good balance? what does artbot think?

  2. Artbot is cracking me up as I post my own all-too-serious commentary on "Katie's Blog." I hope Artbot's humor will soon seep into my blog posts...

  3. The site really does not practice what it preaches. Nonetheless, it may be a good resource for those intimidated by the software and visual culture. Artbot has a special version of PowerPoint loaded on Artbot's hard drive. It makes hand-cut french fries. Mmmm. Artbot loves PowerPoint fries with chili made by Excel. Microsoft Office is Artbot's best friend.
