Are we still talking about font sizes...?

Oct 05, 2009 17:40

The first slide of my PowerPoint lectures just display the chapter and the chapter title; i.e. it may say "Chapter 5. Climate and Biodiversity"

Then on following slides, bulleted lists, animations, graphs, charts, and so forth. However, on these slides, instead of using font size 60, I reduce it to a reasonable font size of around 35 or so.

We started a new chapter today, and the first slide came up.
In SIZE 60 FONT.

Girl yells: "Oooh! I like it big!"

Without thinking, I say: "Don't get used to it. It's not always big, so just deal and pretend you like it."

In a classroom of seniors, there is a short pause, then hilarity ensues and nobody can breathe for a minute because we're all laughing so hard.

humor, teaching
