  • deep, heartfelt belief in your topic.

      This is a key element in a successful presentation...planning, preparing, and delivering a presentation that involves a topic I am passionate about makes it seem like a lot less work. 
  • “B” key while your PowerPoint or Keynote slide is showing, the screen will go blank.

      I just learned this last year! How did I go so many years without knowing this?  Also if you push "W" your screen will go white 
  • Familiarize yourself with alternate lines of reasoning by digging up articles, blog posts, and reports that challenge your stance

      This is a great idea to actually look into resources that challenge the topic/perspective. Rather than just having my opinion about something, I could spend some time looking into those alternative stances

      This is a good reminder to break longer presentations into smaller pieces. I try to integrate playtime into some presentations, but now I am thinking that I need to make them shorter and occur more often. 
  • Only about 7 percent of the actual words or content is important

      This is hard to believe the content impact is so small. It definitely makes e think that i need to pay attention to my delivery style. I really dislike watching myself on video, but the hint to tape myself and reflect is probably a good one.

  • The less clutter you have on your slide, the more powerful your visual message will become.

      As a person who likes clean lines and simplicity, I apprecaite this statement. I think less can definitely be more!
  • By getting out of the Slide View and into the Slide Sorter view, you can see how the logical flow of your presentation is progressing.

      This is a great place to proofread and edit to ensure that the presenatation flows and keeps a common theme throughout. I think that it would be easy to spot slides that need some work when looking at all of them at once.

      This is a good rule of thumb, I think that is why the visual on the page is so important to help quickly understand the content.
  • What key part of each bullet point do you need to mention during your PowerPoint presentation?
    • stac34
      stac34 on 14 Feb 15
       
      This is a good point when thinking about trying to get closer to the "six words per slide" rule. Keeping in mind the key details can help decrease the use of words that are not needed.
  • convert each bullet point into a separate image
    • stac34
      stac34 on 14 Feb 15
       
      Great idea! After deciding the important details on a slide, rather than just including those find a visual that represents what the bullet points would have siad. The presenter will still have to explain what the visuals mean, but that should happen anyway, much bettter than sentences next to bullet points!

  • If your audience could remember only three things about your presentation,what would you want it to be?
    • stac34
      stac34 on 13 Feb 15
       
      I think this is a great question to ask yourself when planning a presenation. To make it purposeful, you want to think about what others will gain from the presentation.
  • he analog approach (paper or whiteboard) to sketch out my ideas and create a rough storyboard really helps solidify and simplify my message in my own head.
    • stac34
      stac34 on 13 Feb 15
       
      I like the idea of this, but realistically so much of what i do is digital, I plan so much on Google Docs so I can access my thoughts from any of my devices. Maybe I should try going analog to see if mind mapping like that is beneficial for me.
  • We do not tell a story from memory alone; we do not need to memorize a story that has meaning to us. If it is real, then it is in us.

      Yes. This. I have sat through presenatations where others are just sharing information and I have presented when I have been assigned a slide or two to present. I have received excellent feedback when I have been able to present about a topic that I am passionate about and connected to. When I can share why it is important to me the message is so much easier to get across. I'm trying to think about how traditional required PD can be reformatted to include more story telling.

      I kinda shudder when I think about how many presentations I have given that are 30, 40 even 50 slides long (in a day long class) and how overwhelmed people must be. I like that it lays out what the ten topics are, but I would be interested to know what this would look like with education topics.

  • Documentaries do not simply tell facts; rather, they engage us with the story of war, scientific discovery, a dramatic sea rescue, climate change, and so on

      This is good to realize that it can be a heavy subject or a non fiction topic and still be covered through the format of storytelling. If our brains naturally gravitate towards stories, then the audience is automatically at a higher level of engagement.

  • in the aggregate (e.g., your “PowerPoint deck”) can be perfectly and completely understood without your narration, then it begs the question: why are you there?

      I love this, I wish that all presenters were given this statement to check their presentations before going public with them. I think it is a good reflection piece to see if you have developed a quality presentation. I am going to make this part of my proofreading process when preparing presentations from here on out!
  • You can wreck a communication process with lousy logic or unsupported facts, but you can’t complete it without emotion. Logic is not enough.

      I really haven't ever thought of the emotional side of the presentation, but it makes sense that if someone can connect with the presenter they might be more engaged. Appealing to the audience emotional side can help them become invested in the topic and information.

      I think this is important, I have recently tried incorporating storytelling into my presentations, letting the audience know how I got to where I am in my journey with the topic and why it is something I am passionate about. This ties in with the idea of striking the emotional side of the audience mentioned in the other article.

      I think it is important to note that PowerPoint is a tool that can be used effectively, but just simply having a PowerPoint doesn't make it purposeful just through using it. The design of a presentation includes multiple facets, the visual presentation is just one of them.

      I am a fan of acryonyms when they are easy to recall, I like that all of these are described below in more detail, but the "memory" word describes it well enough to trigger what you should remember when designing presentations.
