Return to “CHL Powerpoint Presentation.”
I was being sarcastic -- I can't tell if you are, or not. Of course, I've never taken the online driver safety class. Didn't even know it existed.Crossfire wrote:You mean like the online driver safety class to get you out of a traffic ticket?

One of our friends still does the low-tech, stand up there and talk for 10 hours, class. Will DPS force him to buy a laptop and a projector now?
I have no objection to a standardized lesson, where everyone gets the same info. And, I am happy to teach a DPS approved lesson. Just don't force me to use their method to do it. Bear in mind, I have sat through my original 40 hour DPS instructor class. And 5 DPS renewals. Trust me, I have SEEN their Powerpoint. Not impressed with their ability to make it interesting.
Now, I might be a bit more Powerpoint savvy than some (Microsoft Certified Professional). A few embedded videos here and there, a little animation, and some surprise transistions go a long way toward keeping the class interesting, and it is not that hard to do.
If DPS forces me to use their Powerpoint, then I am probably done with this. I can go back to living a normal life with weekends off.
