  • temptation is to turn the lights off so that the slides look better

      This is a great point, but some photos need to have the room darkened some to be able to see.  I have played with brightness on a few photos and it seems to help with some.

      I know that I've heard this before with variable times for viewing, but great to think about with every slide that is being created. Keep at it!

      This was a big take away for me in a previous lesson.  Use it as a starting for the conversation and talk to the points listed, not a reading of the list or points that are listed.

  • What is the real purpose of your talk? Why is it that you were asked to speak? What does the audience expect?
    • amytlach
      amytlach on 19 May 15
       
      These seem to me to be the most important take aways for me today.  Time thinking and brainstorming about the true purpose of the presentation--without technology! I think that we have been conditioned recently to turn to the computer first for information and then figure out what to do with it. 
  • If your audience could remember only three things about your presentation,what would you want it to be? (1)__________ (2)__________ (3)__________
    • amytlach
      amytlach on 19 May 15
       
      These three things that you want them to remember can be founded at the same time as the initial preparation that happens without technology. If it is important  to be remembered, what will make the audience make a connection to it and actuallyremember it. 
  • 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint

      I absolutely love this way of thinking! easy to remember and makes great sense.  This is something that I will be able to share with other staff members that I work with that is simple and valuable at the same time to help them improve. 10 slides, 20 Minutes, 30 point font!

  • Visuals should be big, bold, clear, and easy to see. Allow graphic elements to fill the frame and bleed off the edges. Use visuals in an active way, not a decorative one. Aim to carefully trim back the details. Make your presentation—visuals and narration—participatory.

      These are great to work from, very succinct and simple to do.  Another thing that will be great for me to share with others that is simple and easy to do, while continually improving things along the way

  • Now, you can use the cue cards you made to make sure you’re saying what you came to say.

      Back to basics for me with this.  Memory doesn't always work like it used to and this is a quick and simple fix.

      Very simple, but many times forgotten.  Sometimes I make presentations where things are on the table at the start of the event.  It is much harder to capture attention and get a good start when this is the case. 
  • No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.

      This will be a challenge for me, but worth working towards. 
  • Champions must sell
    • amytlach
      amytlach on 18 May 15
       
      Selling is a concept that seems funny to use as a descriptor, but it truly what we are doing when we are teaching or presenting new ideas in front of an audience.
  • everyone else is busy defending the status quo (which is easy) and you’re busy championing brave new innovations, which is difficult.

      This will sometimes challenge me, but the end result will be worth it! 
  • hand out print-outs of your slid
    • amytlach
      amytlach on 18 May 15
       
      Is it beneficial to hand out something for note taking purposes as presentations change in to more visual and fewer words?? As a learner, I could see some time that I would like to have the image to take with me with some notes that would jog my memory. 
  • put your ideas in human terms
    • amytlach
      amytlach on 18 May 15
       
      This is something that I try to do every time that I present with images that jog memories or will create curiosity as mentioned above. Are there other ways to do this besides images...maybe with sounds? Dont want to get in to cheesy transitions sound effects from Power Point, but maybe recorded sounds from on a farm or even music? May sound a little far out, but with some of the younger students that I work with, it might work. 
  • real examples

      Sometimes the real examples in my job become controversial.  The best way to handle conversations and keep the presentation moving comes to mind here for me.
