[] Life after death powerpoint

This was one of the funnies videos that I have seen in a while. The information regarding what people tend to do on a powerpoint presentation that detracts and disengages the audience is so true. I've noticed this in many workshops and work related trainings and it drives me crazy. This would be good for slightly older students because they will be able to appreciate the humor involved and remember the information for their own powerpoint presentations. Loved it! Keep it in the course.
