Presentation Tips

Presentation Tips Helping your audience get the most from your presentation

“ Stand to the left of screen. Your audience with anchor on you, then read across, then come back and anchor on you…” (Burmark)

The slides aren’t the Presentation
Slides shouldn’t say everything you will!

The presenter and the presentation “play complementary roles – like the cowboy and the horse” (Burmark)

Attack jargon with a vengeance Burmark, L. (2002). Visual Literacy: Learn to See, See to Learn. Alexandria, VA. ASCD. P64.

“ Let the image sink in first; then you can hang your message on that visual hook.” (Burmark)

Attention
Average Attention Span = 18 minutes

Attention & Pacing
40-90 seconds maximum per slide
Better 2-3 slides per minute
300-460 slides 90 slides 2 hours 150-180 slides 45 slides 60 minutes 60-90 slides 20 slides 30 minutes Optimum Slides Minimum Slides Length of Presentation

Need to work a visual “commercial break” in at least every 15 minutes (relate it to your content)
Humor = good for learning

Engage
Engage audience every 3-4 minutes
Ask a question
Help make a connection
Take a poll
Build in time for discussion
Think-Jot-Pair-Share almost always builds engagement

Brains like color

Brains see yellow first

Color visuals increase willingness to read by up to 80 percent

Color enhances learning and improves retention by more than 75 percent

77% perceive that “Presentations that use color are able to communicate better than those that use black and white” (3M)

Perception = Reality
