  3. Session 3 ▪ PowerPoint I have purposely broken some of

    my own advice so you can see the effect of doing it wrong.
  4. Don’t put every word on slide Keep slides simple Long,

    complex slides take time to read The more the audience reads, the less they listen Spellcheck everything
  5. Don’t over use animation and transitions Animation may be needed

    to: Emphasize a point Complex diagrams Fade transition is probably best
  6. No smaller than 24 point font Clean, easy to read

    fonts Use sans-serif rather than serif font Font color should contrast with background
  7. • Two Basic Slide Types • Show Whole Slide At

    Once • Prompts to keep you on track • Reveal Technique • Show one bullet point at a time • Summarize what you’re going to say • Keeps audience from reading ahead
  8. Images add impact If it’s on the slide, talk about

    it Back row can’t see bottom of slide. Only use top 75% of slide
  9. No PowerPoint Bullet Points Graphs and Charts Transitions and Animations

    Fonts, Color, Images How not to use PowerPoint

    from your software 2. Transfer 3x5 cards, one card per slide 3. Write your script in complete words in the notes section 4. Add transitions if needed
