Greetings Damian - you might remember me from Surrey CLD.
I'm not sure if these are the kinds of things you're looking for on
Powerpoint as a pedagogic tool but hope they are useful:
A couple of articles on the dangers of PPT
Julia Keller: Is PowerPoint the devil? (education mentioned midway through
the article)
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/5004120.htm
Jamie McKenzie on powerpointlessness and better ways to structure PPTs
http://www.fno.org/sept00/powerpoints.html
Issues in putting PPT online (refers to WebCT but applicable to any
platform)
http://www.westga.edu/%7Edistance/ppt/
plus my comments on this

If teachers still need to improve PPT skills, Microsoft's own tutorials for
teachers are quite good

and this pdf tipsheet is really handy for both keyboard slideshow controls
and effective PPT show design
