  • voice (don't speak in a monotone voice).

      This is such a hard one as it's very difficult sometimes to actually know your voice and especially know the tone that you're using all the time. Definitely takes a lot of practice if one is not a natural at this. 
  • don't slouch, stand up straight and natural

      I'm a natural sloucher and shoulders fwd kind of person and I have to remind myself to sit straight/stand straight/etc. I speak to my students often of this as this is a very hard thing for me to do consistently. This is crucial in presentations and especially interviews.
  • When audience members ask questions or give comments, you should be gracious and thank them for their input. Even if someone is being difficult, you must keep to the high ground and at all times be a gentleman or lady and courteously deal with such individuals. The true professional can always remain cool and in control. Remember, it is your reputation, so always remain gracious even with the most challenging of audiences.

      Sounds easy...but can very hard to do sometimes depending on the presentation and crowd : ) Thanking them for their input is huge in my eyes and saying it sincerely has importance too.

  • People should be able to comprehend each one in about three seconds

      Being a business teacher I'm seeing a lot of similar traits to building resumes and app letters...the effectiveness of white space and as  mentioned here the eye test.
  • A clear visual hierarchy allows viewers to quickly ascertain a slide’s most important elements:

      These slides are really hitting home with me with the larger font on the statistic. I'm realizing now that I haven't utilized statistics this way in the past in my presentations and will change that going forward!
  • The arrow comes in later to underscore the point: Our future looks good!

      I've never seen a chart with the added emphasized arrow...I like it!  It definitely grabs your attention right away!

  • you hate bullet points

      I'm definitely agreeing with using as few as bullet points as possible after looking through all the articles and lessons in this class. You're making me think real hard how I'm going to approach my college computer class that I teach. Obviously we aren't in PPT very long compared to the other Microsoft applications but never have I discouraged using bullets...now you're making this hard on me!  : )  There will definitely be some itmes and ideas that I take from this class and learn it forward.
  • Try to bold only the key parts of each point — limit it to as few words as possible.

  • Keep it simple

      It's so easy to say this to ourself and especially our students but as simple as it is to say it, ha, it's so hard sometimes to narrow things down in regards to presentations. The 3 things to remember will be a great aide for me to use.
  • caffeine

      Coke please : )
  • Use visuals in an active way, not a decorative one.
    • dahrens20
      dahrens20 on 19 Jun 15
       
      It's been nice seeing all the visuals and pics and how they all can tell a story. It's really a simple process and a reminder that I need to include more into mine instead of the usual PPT clipart/objects/etc. Much more telling and relating to the audience.

  • Words should be presented as speech (i.e., narration) rather than text (i.e., on-screen text) or as speech and text.

      It's much more interesting listening to someone presenting when it's an actual presentation and  not just reading word for word as what this article has referred to.
  • No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken.

      This was an eye-opener for me to read as I'm still use to teaching the 7x7 rule...no more than 7 words in a line and no more than 7 lines on  a slide. Makes perfect sense though as the majority of the time it needs to be more of a presentation instead of a read along.
  • Don’t hand out print-outs of your slides. They don’t work without you there.

      I think this largely depends on what you're presenting. I understand what they're saying but this one I say isn't 100% correct. What if you're presenting in Math class???

  • Sound effects can be used a few times per presentation, but never use the sound effects that are built in to the program.

      This is fun for the younger students and keeps them engaged but I agree, not for presentation purposes.
