  • give the audience's eyes a rest every so often

      Interesting thought. Images that are very busy can take time for the audience to digest, give time for them to comprehend the images and the presentation.

  • I often use images of people in my slides, as photography of people tends to help the audience connect with the slide on a more emotional level.
    • kbelland21
       
      Makes sense when trying to tell a story and connect with the audience on an emotional level.
  • People should be able to comprehend each one in about three seconds.
    • kbelland21

  • It’s okay to cover details verbally that are not reflected in your bullet points.
    • kbelland21
       
      I am guilty of including a lot of information on presentations. I need to remember that I can include information that is not a bullet point.
  • convert each bullet point into a separate image
    • kbelland21
       
      Great idea if it is possible with the slide content.

  • Start with the end in mind
    • kbelland21
       
      I think this is really important. Looking at what we want our students to learn at the end of a lesson is the beginning of lesson planning. Looking at the end goal is the start of presentation planning.
  • Who is the audience?
  • If your audience could remember only three things about your presentation,what would you want it to be?
    • kbelland21
       
      This goes back to having the end in mind. What do you want the audience to remember at the end? Great question to ask when planning for your presentation.

  • whiteboard in my office to sketch out my ideas
    • kbelland21
       
      This is another great idea. I am a very visual person. This would help me better prepare myself for the presentation.
  • audience to remember your content, then find a way to make it more relevant and memorable by strengthening your core message with good, short, stories or examples.
    • kbelland21
       
      I agree. I can recall information if it can be related back to me in some way. Make it relevant to the audience.
  • contrast is one of the most fundamental and important elements to include.
    • kbelland21
       
      Never thought of having contrast in a presentation. Contrast does keep the audiences attention.

    • kbelland21
       
      SUCCES is a great acronym to remember when creating presentations that you want to "stick" with your audience.
  • as many footnotes or details as you like
    • kbelland21
       
      Great idea!
  • Don’t hand out the written stuff at the beginning!
    • kbelland21
       
      I see this a lot! I often ignore the presenter and focus on the handout.

  • No more than six words on a slide. EVER
    • kbelland21
       
      Interesting! Guilty of including more than 6 words per slide.
  • rip sounds and music from CDs and leverage the Proustian effect this can have
    • kbelland21
       
      Never thought of this. It would get audiences attention.
