During presentations the audience and the presenter might be interested in displaying a countdown timer or the current date. This may be the case because the audience might be interested in knowing the remaining duration of the presentation and the presenter himself might be willing to keep an eye on time without having to continually look at his/her watch. TM Timer is an add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint that allows adding a countdown timer or current time on slideshow presentations Via FPPT, Baiba Svenca

Death by PowerPoint is a popular term. It’s unfair that PowerPoint gets the stick as there are more than a few presentation tools around. As anyone who has taken the pains to make a memorable PowerPoint presentation will tell you – the secret of the steak is in the sizzle. The sizzle also comes and stops at creativity. If you have creativity by your side, you can use PowerPoint as your canvas. Via Baiba Svenca

5 Creative Uses Of PowerPoint Presentations 
Karen Ford's curator insight,
November 4, 2013 12:53 PM
I think "death by PowerPoint" is used so often because so many users have not "taken the pains to make a memorable..." presentation and the concept of creativity might not have even been considered. Not totally sure what the answer is, but I do believe that if more individuals could have their eyes opened to the potential that PowerPoint has, we might be able to get passed the "death" issue. That means we have to get the great ideas to the teachers and their students... not just telling them, but perhaps showing them...

A great way to review new concepts is to create a Tic Tac Toe game slide in PowerPoint. In the example from a foreign language class to the right, images are used to represent new vocabulary.
