Teaching without PowerPoint: the pros of drawing diagrams with students
Problems arise in lessons due to transient information, which occurs when information appears and then disappears (Wong et al. 2012). This is common with the presentation of slide decks. A crucial image is shown but vanishes when the teacher moves to the next slide. This puts pressure on the student to retain all the aspects in mind while connecting them to the information on the next slide.

If just a fraction of my followers watched this playlist whilst logged into youtube this holiday, my channel would get monetised, allowing me to pay for the upkeep on the PhysicsEd website. Are you able to help me? Pls repost to help out. Thank you. Dan
