When I was at ABI (1956/1957) Bro. Norris had a couple of charts.

Bro. F.E. Curts was my pastor from 1957 until some time in the nineteen sixties and he had charts he taught from. He was in one of those pictures I posted.

I preached a couple of weekends in a church in Worthville, KY quite few years ago. One Sunday morning the lesson was on the second coming of Jesus and there was a large chart by Bro. Gosey (similar to a Larkin chart) hanging there and I opened it up and used it for a background and for a visual. It was kinda neat.

PowerPoint is nowhere near as fun as those old charts.

I do wonder what Edward Tufte, the guru of quantitative information charts (and a real hater of PowerPoint), would say about those old charts. I think he might actually like them.

It was the only way to truly teach.............you remember much more that you see than what you hear.

Power point works, but the charts had "soul"!

but charts are now considered horse and buggy technology, aren't they?

didn't we discontinue chart teaching when we discontinued celluloid collars and wearing a suit behind the pulpit?

At the school I work at we have long since moved beyond Powerpoint and now use SmartBoards(TM) -or interactive white boards.

Still using the chart in Signs of Life Deaf Bible study every Tuesday. Deaf are visual and the chart can be handled by them easier than a powerpoint.
