1) Powerful presentations require both visual and audio elements to engage students of all learning styles. Visual technologies like overhead projectors, digital projectors, and document cameras can display images, videos, and real objects. 2) Non-projected visuals such as flipcharts, magnetic boards, felt boards, chalkboards, and whiteboards provide additional presentation tools. Common video formats include broadcast, narrowcast, and cablecast. 3) When creating presentations, consider your audience, stay focused on the topic, use visuals appropriately, appear confident and comfortable, and add humor when possible.

14. Important things to remember When making presentations you need to remember who you are presenting to in the audience (ex. Age range). This will greatly effect how you are going to present your information seeing as how a kindergartener will learn with different visuals then say a student in 12th grade. Make sure not to get off topic during your presentation. Ask yourself, is this presentation easy on the eye? Or are the visuals to complex or not complex enough? There needs to be balance. Also make sure you yourself are presentable, not nervous because you are the expert, and use humor.
