   Some Book Information

 ·        A book that I have found useful is Visual literacy: learn to see, see to learn. It has a chapter     on  PowerPoint presentations. The author is Lynell Burmark and it was published by ASCD in           2002. 

·        Guide to PowerPoint by Mary Munter. It indicates that it is for an Advanced Business                  Communications course.
