I am 27 and never hear slide deck before it is indeed a power point presentation.
I call them pretty computer crayon drawings for management to feel special.... absolutely fuck all important is provided in a power point...I mean..."slide deck"
Should have called them "overhead projector sheets" and pushed them all into utter confusion.
I'm a 32 year old teacher and I want an overhead projector.
A dry erase transparency is much easier to write on than the white board. My macro handwriting is awful, students can barely read what I write on the board. So I always end up writing on a peice of paper on my desk, and I have my phone on a tripod so I can get a "top down shot" of me writing on the paper, then I screen cast that to the smart board.
It works, I can write legibly by writing in a normal size, and then enlarge it for the class to read fairly quickly.... Once all the cameras and casting is set up.
But it would be so much easier to just have an overhead projector, a few transparencies and a dry erase marker. Roll it out, plug it in, aim and focus the lens, then I'm done. Plus then if the internet goes out I could still use the board!

I'm 34 and I've never even heard the term "slide deck". Is that some apple shit?
A slide deck is the analogue version of a PowerPoint.
The deck is the rotating ring that you drop your slides into, then project them on the wall with what is essentially just an overhead projector designed to take small vertical slides of film loaded into the deck, instead of just using transparent sheets.
You'd design all your little film slides, arrange them in order in the deck (think, deck of cards). The deck is what let you automatically swap between slides by pressing the remote to rotate the deck and reveal the next slide to the projector lens.
I'm 32 but my school was broke as fuck so we were still using overheads and slide decks in 2005.

Slide deck sounds like something related to yu gi oh or mtg
You activated my trap card! Agile, with 40min dailies
We often just call them “charts”, too, regardless if it’s just a wall of text.
Huh. I guess I think of a "slide deck" as the (usually PDF) version that is sent to everyone in the meeting so they can refer to the slides before/after the presentation, and a "PowerPoint presentation" as the live presentation of those slides.
