I don't think slides belong in the classroom. They are the fastest way
to put students to sleep.
 
They require low lights which make people drowsy and make note-taking
harder.

The slide just competes with the lecturer for attention. The slide
keeps giving away the punchline.

Slides are for entertaining and selling hypnotically not for
informing.
