PowerPoint Presentations
PowerPoint presentations have become a common way
to present material, which combines text, visuals, and sound in
an effective manner if used properly.
Key points to remember
- Do not put too much text on the screen and keep
the font at least 24 pt and preferably 32 pt or larger. It is
better to use more slides and larger font.
- Be careful not to use so much animation and sound
that the primary message of the content is upstaged by the bells
and whistles.
- Use visual images as much as possible to appeal
to the visual learner.
- If you are presenting several points on a slide,
consider dimming the old points in order to highlight the current
points.
- Save often and do not put too many slides (over
80-100) in one lesson. Create a link to another lesson if it
is going longer.
- You may also import files, pictures, movies,
and sound into the PowerPoint to increase its effectiveness.
- Though Mr. Edward DeLeon who presents the following
PowerPoint Presentation on how to use PowerPoint prefers always
beginning with a blank background, many users prefer one of
the other template layouts provided by the program combining
a standard heading text box and a variety of text and graphic
configurations.
