PowerPoint presentations should have slides that complement the background and images to avoid distracting the audience. Text blocks should be large with 1-3 bullet points per slide and proofread for errors. Colors can influence mood so choose carefully. When creating the presentation, consider the audience, material, learning objectives, and environment. Animations and visuals should enhance understanding but not overwhelm the slide. When presenting, avoid reading slides verbatim, face the audience, speak loudly and clearly, and practice beforehand to present confidently without reading notes.
