Editor's Notes
- When using a powerpoint it is important to keep the slides simple. You don’t want the slides to tell everything because if they did say everything then there would be nothing for you to talk about and your audience would just have to read the screen. After all, they did come to listen to your thoughts...not read about them.
- Garr Reynolds points out that “the best slides may not have any words at all.” The most important part of a powerpoint is not the slides but the narration that you provide. The information provided by the narrator is what the people really show up to see. He also advises to write a detailed handout of your presentation highlighting the most important parts of your presentation
- You should not have animations on every slide. These animations can distract and annoy the your audience. You want your audience to be intrigued by your presentation, not bored. You also don’t want your slideshow to be slowed down by all of these animations.
- Your audience will expect a presentation that is unique with never-before-seen images. The basic images that you may be able to copy and paste into your slideshow from powerpoint (clipart) is not enough to keep the audience intrigued.
- Different charts can be used for different things depending on what you are comparing. For instance, for a side by side comparison, a 2 column table may be the best thing. Whatever helps the audience know what you are saying is what really helps.
- Color allows people to have emotion towards you presentation. The two color categories (warm and cool) are very important to understand. Also, the lighting of where you will be presenting the slideshow plays a big part on which color will look best.
- Wou want to make sure you don’t use many Serif Fonts because they are meant to be used in documents with lots of texts, and they are harder to read from a distance. Sans-serif Fonts are normally best for powerpoints because they are easier to read from farther away.
- When a video or audio recording are shown to an audience (when the media selection is displaying an example) it can cause the cognitive processing of the audience to be promoted. Showing a video will allow the audience to have a change in viewing and keep them more intrigued.
- Organizing your slides is very important in order to keep your audience following along. If your slides are out of order then it is hard for the audience to keep going back and forth in their head.
- In order to make your powerpoint the best, it is important to have a theme; however, if you plan on choosing a theme from powerpoint think again. This is because the themes in powerpoint many people have already seen countless times.
