Scripted PowerPoint Presentations
The presentations are scripted in that they have speaker notes (along with references for those notes) that accompany each slide. The scripted presentations are comprehensive which means that they contain a large amount of information. This information is not meant to be read verbatim to the audience, but is meant to provide the speaker with the necessary background to lecture on the subject matter. You, as an educator, know your audience best. Feel free to go into more detail or less detail depending on your audience (i.e. you may tweak these presentations as needed).
