PowerPoint is OK for presentations....

But a pre-flight briefing is NOT a presentation.

Whiteboard and 4 sticky pens - far the better way. And you absolutely must elicit student participation and knowledge.

When I did my RAF QFI training, the PC scribbly-wench giving the 'How to Teach' stuff told us we weren't allowed to say 'blackboard' as it had racial overtones....

But this was Scampton, we were aircrew (largely non-volunteer) and some of us knew of a certain dog's grave not very far from the CFS groundschool. So, guess what the 'black' board became known as.....

Our Kenyan AF mate thought it was rather amusing!
