More exciting presentations

Yesterday, I attended a conference for instructional use of technology. One of my favorite sessions was about eliminating the old, boring, text-based powerpoint presentations, with a more fast-paced, exciting technique. Still using, PowerPoint, these streamlined presentations really captured my attention. What do you think?
