This document provides guidance for teachers on creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It outlines basic rules for slide design, such as using high contrast between text/graphics and backgrounds, ensuring text is large enough to be legible, and limiting the amount of text and number of ideas per slide. Teachers are advised to show rather than tell their message through the use of graphics like diagrams, pictures, and charts, and to align, group and layer elements for impact. The overall message is that less text and greater visual elements on each slide will create more powerful presentations.
