> They also had difficulty using power point for basic slides.
To be fair the best lessons and then lectures where you actually learned were always the ones when the lecturer used the black/whiteboards. The ones where they just read though prepared PowerPoints were deathly dull and completely lacking in engagement.
I am extremely grateful that I managed to get through the primary/secondary school system before PowerPoint, digital projectors and "smart whiteboards" took education by the throat, and that it hadn't completely subsumed higher education either (but it was beginning to go that way).
Of course, you can be a dreadful teacher and be unable to use PowerPoint or any other teaching method, but you could also plausibly be one of world's best educators and have never touched PowerPoint.
depends... I remember seeing my professor painstakingly write formulas on the blackboard - it was such a waste of time. I'd normally have the textbook open on the page with the same formulas and I'd entertain myself by trying to find any mistakes professor might have made.
You can have dull professors with either blackboard or with projector. But professors who care can do significantly more with computer vs blackboard, especially with disciplines where videos might be useful.
