What is the “in favor” method of pointing at a ppt slide?

I never did like laser pointers.
I always have, and always will us a long pointy stick.

“I never did like laser pointers. I always have, and always will us a long pointy stick.”

Thats really old school. The only problem I have with laser pointers is that many dont work on video screens and using the screen cursor is awkward.

Agree. I have given lots of presentations using PPT slides. Hate laser pointers. Always carried a collapsible pointer.

That said, a good presenter should rarely have to use the pointer. Face the audience and talk with the slide behind you. Shows you at least know the material. And forget the cutsy animations.

Whacking the screen with a laser doesn't have the same effect.
