I was thinking about slides for conferences. (I tested with the word "banana" anyway.) In conferences, walls of text is a very common design error.

I teach math in the first year of the university. When I started, One very useful recomendation was:

> Whater you write in the blackboard, they will copy in their paper notebook and may read and learn some day later.

> Whaterver you only say, goes away with the wind.

So I try to write down in the blackboard everithing I say.

So slides for a classroom shoud have more text than what I usually expect.

I appreciate that. It's hard to find the perfect balance.

It's possible to insert notes for each slide (atleast ms office ppt allow that). We do that for our training slides. The notes are detailed descriptions while the slides remain short bullet points.
