Presenting effectively involves engaging multiple senses through visual and audio elements. Visual aids should complement spoken content by representing information in different ways than words alone. Images should be relevant, colorful, and arranged appealingly. Audio enhances presentations by engaging another delivery system and allowing repetition to aid retention. Videos can actively engage audiences if used interactively, such as through YouTube where students are familiar. Charts and tables concisely present facts, while humor makes connections to keep audiences engaged.
