The documents discuss PowerPoint presentations and best practices for creating effective presentations. PowerPoint is a Microsoft program used to create digital slideshows to accompany oral presentations. It is important to keep presentations clear, simple and consistent with matching design, limited text and images, and consistent formatting. Presenters should focus on engaging the audience rather than the PowerPoint software itself.
2. What is a PowerPoint
Presentation?
Definition:
The term "PowerPoint presentation" was coined when
Microsoft introduced its software program PowerPoint.
PowerPoint is commonly used by presenters as a
digital aid when presenting their topic to an audience.
Microsoft has called this type of software a
"presentation", which is a misnomer. Many presenters
often forget that they are the presentation that the
audience came to see, not their PowerPoint
presentation.

3. What is Microsoft PowerPoint? -
How Do I Use PowerPoint?
PowerPoint is a presentation software program that is
part of the Microsoft Office package. PowerPoint uses
a graphical approach to presentations in the form
of slide shows that accompany the oral delivery of the
topic. This program is widely used
in business and classrooms and is an effective tool
when used for training purposes.

4. Three rules for better Power point
Presentation
1. Match Design to Purpose
Decide if your presentation is meant to entertain,
inform, persuade, or sell. Is a light-hearted or a more
formal approach most appropriate to the subject and
your audience? Keep colors, clip art, and templates
consistent with your main objective.

5. 2. Keep It Simple
As with any design, cut the clutter. Two font families
is a good rule of thumb. No more than one graphic
image or chart per slide is another good rule
(excluding any corporate logo or other recurring
element in the design).

6. 3. Be Consistent
Use the same colors and fonts throughout. Select
graphic images in the same style. Templates go a long
way toward helping to maintain consistency.

7. 5 Rules for More Effective
Presentations
Don’t give your presentation software center
stage.
Create a logical flow to your presentation.
Make your presentation readable
Remember, less is more
Distribute a handout

8. PowerPoint picture tools for
effective presentations
According to Wikipedia, the phrase, "A picture is worth
a thousand words," expresses the idea that a complex
concept can be easily understood using just a single
image. It also aptly characterizes one of the main goals
of visualization, namely making it possible to absorb
large amounts of data quickly.

9. PowerPoint Photo Manipulation Tools
The Remove Background tool is useful for
separating a foreground object in a picture from the
background, providing there is a reasonable amount
of difference between the object and the
background. In other words, the Remove
Background tool is useful when you have several
objects in a picture or photograph and your
presentation needs to focus on one specific object.
This tool will help you quickly eliminate all other
objects apart from the one object that you want your
audience to look at.

10. Corrections
is a tool that has two purposes:
1. Corrections enables you to adjust the brightness and
contrast of an image, which is helpful when your
photograph or picture is too dark or too bright to be seen
properly.
2. Corrections enables you to adjust the sharpness and
softness of a picture - helpful if, for example, you have want
to sharpen the blurry text in a screenshot to make it more
readable to your audience. Increasing the sharpness is also
useful if your photographs appear a little smudged or some
of the details have been lost due to bad lighting.

11. Customized Effects
PowerPoint also lets you create your own customized
versions of many of the effects discussed in this
article by using the Picture Styles dialog launcher
(it's the tiny grey arrow on the right corner of the
Picture Styles group). When you click on the Picture
Styles dialog launcher, the Format Picture dialog
box will appear with adjustable settings that enable
you to experiment with different combinations of
corrections, 3D picture glows, borders and other
photo manipulation options.

12. Advantages
Potential benefits of using presentation graphics include.
Engaging multiple learning styles
Increasing visual impact
Improving audience focus
Providing annotations and highlights
Analyzing and synthesizing complexities
Enriching curriculum with interdisciplinary
Increasing spontaneity and interactivity
Increasing wonder

13. STUDENT POWER POINT APPROACH
Classroom response systems can improve students'
learning by engaging them actively in the learning
process. Instructors can employ the systems to gather
individual responses from students or to gather
anonymous feedback. It is possible to use the
technology to give quizzes and tests, to take attendance,
and to quantify class participation. Some of the systems
provide game formats that encourage debate and team
competition. Reports are typically exported to Excel for
upload to the instructor's grade book.

14. PowerPoint as Worksheet
Instructors who do not have sufficient photocopying
opportunities in their departments may be less likely to use
paper worksheets with their students, especially in large
classes. PowerPoint offers the ability to approximate
worksheets to illustrate processes or to provide "worked
examples" that shows problem-solving step-by-step. One
valuable technique is to first demonstrate a process or
problem on one slide, then ask students to work on a
similar problem revealed on the next slide, using their own
paper rather than worksheets handed out.

15. Best Practices: Slideshow
Construction
Text size: text must be clearly readable from the back of the
room. Too much text or too small a font will be difficult to
read.
Avoid too much text: one common suggestion is to adhere to
the 6x6 rule (no more than six words per line, and no more
than six lines per slide). The "Takahasi Method" goes so far as
to recommend enormous text and nothing else on the slide,
not even pictures, perhaps as little as just one word on each
slide.
Contrast: light text on dark backgrounds will strain the eyes.
Minimize this contrast, and opt instead for dark text on light
backgrounds. Combinations to avoid, in case of partial color
blindness in the audience, include red-green, or blue-yellow.

16. practices
Transitions and animations should be used sparingly
and consistently to avoid distractions.
Template: do not change the template often. The basic
format should be consistent and minimal.
Use graphics and pictures to illustrate and enhance the
message, not just for prettiness.

17. Other ideas for use on a PowerPoint presentation include:
Change font
Shapes
Clip art
Images
Charts
Tables
Transitions
Animations
Animating text or chart

18. For Better Presentation
Showing things to an audience during a speech is as
old as public speaking. In nearly all cases, showing an
audience a physical thing, an actual object, is the best
way to engage an audience’s attention. But when this
isn’t possible, presentation software like PowerPoint
(or Apple’s Keynote software) allows the modern
public speaker to show things to an audience on a large
screen.

19. http://eglobiotraining.com
What has been turned upside-down over the past
decade’s spread of PowerPoint, for most
PowerPoint users, is that the “speech” is now
mostly what’s on the screen, rather than what is
spoken. In other words, the proper relation of the
illustration tool to the speech has been reversed. In
the opinion of many people, this has tragically
damaged the art of public speaking. No one can
imagine Abraham Lincoln nor Martin Luther King,
Jr., needing PowerPoint. But today many people
who give oral presentations cannot imagine doing
so without PowerPoint.
20. In the end ;
Although PowerPoint has the aforementioned benefits, some argue
that PowerPoint has negatively affected society. The terms "Death by
PowerPoint" and "PowerPoint Hell" refer to the poor use of the
software. Many large companies and branches of the government use
PowerPoint as a way to brief employees on important issues that they
must make decisions about. Opponents of PowerPoint argue that
reducing complex issues to bulleted points is detrimental to the
decision making process; in other words, because the amount of
information in a presentation must be condensed, viewing a
PowerPoint presentation does not give one enough detailed
information to make a truly informed decision.
A frequently cited example is Edward Tufte's analysis of PowerPoint
slides prepared for briefing NASA officials concerning possible
damage to the Space Shuttle Columbia during its final
launch.[11] Tufted argues that the slides, prepared by
the Boeing Corporation, had the effect of oversimplifying the
situation, and provided false assurance that the ultimately fatal
damage to the shuttle was only minimal. Tufted argued:
