I find it more entertaining. That doesn't fully work for giving out tons of info, though. And nothing is better than just standing up and talking. Make the people look at you, engage them.

I feel as though my physical motion has some impact on my power as a presenter. I prefer writing on a board to power points.

If you're on a Mac, use Apple's Keynote. http://www.apple.com/iwork/keynote/ It's fully compatible with PowerPoint, but looks so much better. Finally, a presentation that isn't stale.

I find writing on the board better; it gives the presenter (teacher) a break from the bored stares of the audience (students) and gives people time to take notes. Or even better, screw the person, show just the Power Point! Why not just omit the PowerPoint while you’re at it?
