The
10 Commandments of PowerPoint13 Comments

One of the unavoidable things about college, and increasingly work life, is
PowerPoint. Most of us have, at one point or another, had to slap some slides
together and give a presentation to our friends, family, class, co-workers, or
boss.
PowerPoint
itself is all well and good
, and is actually a great application. But
here’s the problem: most people just truly suck at giving PowerPoint
presentations. Otherwise interesting and intelligent people, when using
PowerPoint,
become
bumbling fools
who look as if they don’t have a clue what they’re
talking about.
Good PowerPoint presentations are more fun, more impactful, and more
impressive to listen to. And all they do differently is follow a few simple
guidelines.
These are the Ten Commandments of PowerPoint (or, at least, the ten ways to
get me to listen to you).
