      Be passionate and pull your audience in with you!
  • First impressions are powerful
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      As with anything, make your first impression count.
  • A handheld remote will allow you to move away from the podium.

      Use a hand remote so you are free to move around. Sure beats walking back up to the computer after each slide!

      I didn't even know the "B Key" existed to blank out the screen!
  • the temptation is to turn the lights off so that the slides look better. But go for a compromise between a bright screen image and ambient room lighting.

      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Keep the lights on and keep your audience on!
  • be gracious and thank them for their input
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      We shouldn't have to be reminded to be gracious and thank the audience for their input but....
  • pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
     
    Be gracious for audience input.

  • think about the day of your presentation. What is the real purpose of your talk?
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      what is the purpose of your talk or presenation? Always keep it in mind.
  • becoming the best possible presenter for that particular audience
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Know your audience. Speak in terms they will understand.
  • spare your audience a “data dump.”
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Don't fill your slides and presentation with data!

  • Simplicity takes more forethought and planning on your part because you have to think very hard about what to include and what can be left out.
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      You don't have to give the audience everything. Keep it simple and keep them wanting more.
  • Cliff Atkinson in his 2005 book, “Beyond Bullet Points,” smartly states that starting to create your presentation in PowerPoint before you have your key points and logical flow first worked out (on paper or a white board in my case) is like a movie director hiring actors and starting to film before there is a script in hand.

      You must plan ahead or you will be wasting a lot of valuable time.
  • If we know our material well and have rehearsed the flow, know what slide is next in the deck, and have anticipated questions, then we have eliminated much (but not all) of the unknown.
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      You really need to rehearse since you won't have everything in front of you. Know your material.
  • Ten is the optimal number of slides in a PowerPoint presentation because a normal human being cannot comprehend more than ten concepts in a meeting
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Don't bore the audience with more than 10 slides!
  • Thirty-point font.
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Use a minimum of a 30 point font for a good visual.
  • pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14

  • boring an audience with bullet point after bullet point is of little benefit to them
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      when we have too many bullets, the audience focuses on them and not on us
  • prepare a written document which highlights your content from the presentation and expands on that content
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      expand your verbal information while keeping the number of slides to a minimum
  • Use high-quality graphics including photographs
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Photographs will invoke much more emotion than animations

  • Have a visual theme, but avoid using PowerPoint templates
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Don't use templates. Come up with your own visual theme!
  • Color evokes feelings. Color is emotional. The right color can help persuade and motivate.
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      So, use color! Grab your audience!
  • Use the same font set throughout your entire slide presentation
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Use the same font - or at least a minimum of two.
  • people comprehend better when information is presented in small chunks or segments
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Don't overload your audience all at once. Present in smaller chunks of information.
  • so that your audience isn’t staring at a wall of text
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      When giving too much on a slide, you will shut down your audience.
  • pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
     
    Use the same font throughout

      While I agree with this in theory, I am one who needs to hear AND see highlights in order to remember them!
  • putting the same information on a slide that is coming out of our mouths usually does not help
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Your audience is likely to ignore what you have to say if you are reading everything to them.

  • "The use of the PowerPoint presentation has been a disaster. It should be ditched."                                                   — John Sweller
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      And, this is the reason we are taking this course!
  • “Words should be presented as speech (i.e., narration) rather than text (i.e., on-screen text) or as speech and text.”                                                      — Richard Mayer

  • If you believe in your idea, sell it
    • pattyharris123
      pattyharris123 on 13 Aug 14
       
      Why even present it if you are not going to believe in it.
  • pattyharris123 on 30 Jul 14
