Submission of PPt on LIGHT
Answers
Explanation:
. INTRO SLIDE:
Title of presentation, date, presenter name
2. OUTLINE SLIDE:
Main points of what you will talk about
Then follow the structure you’ve laid out
Start broad, finish specific
Rank Information (What NEEDS to go on the slide)
Simplify
3. CONTENT SLIDES:
Cover detailed information based on your outline
As many slides as you need, as many as 1-2 per minute
Remember Powerpoint is more visual than verbal: “a picture is worth a thousand words”
4. FINAL SLIDE:
Audience will likely take away the last thing you say
So make a point to have the last slide be meaningful
provide contact information for followup?
pose a question for discussion?
finish with a joke/or light hearted conclusion?
At the very least put a blank slide at the end
provides a non-distracting placeholder for discussion
prevents clicking through back to Powerpoint application
5. Slide types:
TEXT:
Highlight your presentation, don’t create a substitute for it
Bullet points, not complete sentences
4-6 points per page
No large blocks of text, audience stops listening, and reads
Consider showing one point at a time, using animation
helps the audience focus on what you are saying
6. IMAGES:
Avoid clip art… everyone has seen it before, lacks emphasis
Images should be good: not pixilated, out of focus, too dark
Cropped to remove distractions
7. GRAPHS/DIAGRAMS:
Make them as simple as possible
To be grasped in just a few moments, not studied at length
8. Design issues:
