To effectively present ideas, one should ensure their media is well organized, speak with a strong, confident voice that can be heard throughout the room, and use generous colors in their presentation that work well together and are organized into categories. They should also be confident in the information being presented, prepare adequately beforehand to answer any questions, and make good use of technology to enhance their presentation.

Editor's Notes
No this is not a typo. This is a presentation on how to give a presentation. Students should take notes and use all of these ideas in creating and presenting the best presentation possible. After the slide show they will be creating their own PowerPoint using tutorials found online. Again, they need to make sure to take notes and use them in their own presentation.
Slides should most likely be in the order of the scientific method. Students should go through the presentation as homework to verify that everything is working (slides, videos, etc).
Students should practice presenting this PowerPoint with parents, friends, etc, prior to presenting in the class. They need to be confident (e.g. not looking at the floor or the board, eye contact, know the answers to most of the question that might be asked)
Show students http://colorschemedesigner.com/ and discuss different color schemes in order to make the presentation look more visually pleasing.
Discuss white, or empty space on a presentation and how there shouldn’t be a lot of it. This photo is a well designed room. Discuss how there are 3 main colors (green, yellow and beige), not a lot of empty space and organized (not slopped everywhere).
They should know the information forward and backward. This is why the background research is so important. They might also want to include information on their project (i.e. the steps they took, notes taken, time, or events)
Students will be going to the computer lab at school. On the class website are links to get to the different tutorials. Everyone should start with Getting started. From there, they my look at other tutorials or be creative in creating their own PowerPoint.
