Basic Rules for Presentations

Consider your audience

Basic Rules for Presentationsfor CONTENT

Hide details from the slides



IncludeBibliography/

Reference

Basic Rules- Capitalization• AVOID ALL CAPS –

VERY HARD TO READ.

• First Cap - More Formal.

• Harder To Type And More Decisions.

• This is an example of capitalizing the first word.

• Less formal.• Easier to type and

fewer decisions.

Use Restraint With Fonts

Employ only a few..stick to familiar fonts

Stay away from gimmicky fonts unless for a theme.

Keep type sizes consistent.Serif vs San Serif.

DON’T USE ALL CAPS.

Choose Fonts Wisely

Italics are more difficult to read.Use bold when you want some words

to stand out.Font size

Easy to read (18 pt)




Avoid Too Much TextHaving too much text on the screen

can defeat the purpose of using PowerPoint. The slides begin to look like a jumble of text, making slides difficult to read and unrecognizable

from each other. People will either try to read everything or copy everything

down or they will lose interest. List only the key points. If you have more info to

include use more slides or create handouts.

Worse and Fatal Flaw : Text OVERLOAD

When you put text on the slide, it’s an implied invitation to read it. If you’ve included so much text your audience can’t comprehend it at a glance, then you’re already headed in the wrong direction because you’ve lost their attention, and whatever you say while they’re reading is largely ignored. Don’t believe me? Then what did I just say?

Of course, some might just decide to ignore your slides, which means your slides are pointless. Don’t waste their time and yours. If the information is that crucial, give it to them in handouts. But then don’t read the handout to them! Do that and you’re right back to wasting time. Oh yes, and distribute handouts before the presentation.

Start by asking yourself, “What three things will I just hate myself for if I let these people leave the room without knowing?” Much more content than that and the audience starts losing what’s important. Unless, of course, you’re one of those people who thinks everything you have to say is of dire importance. Funny thing, though: it’s the people in the audience who get to decide what they’ll pay attention to and what they’ll tune out. Help them make that decision by limiting the content of your slides individually and your presentation overall.

Basic Rules That You Must Have to Have a Good

Presentation.• One of the most common

mistakes in creating a presentation is to place too much information on the screen. This can cause the reader to become distracted from the speaker…just like you are now. Audiences are much more receptive to the spoken word.

Basic Rules

Keep it simple..Make bulleted points easy to read.

Keep text easy to understand.Use concise wording.

Bullets are focal points.Presenter provides elaboration.

Keep font size large.

Basic Power Point GuidelinesUse builds…

don’t give them too much info at once.

Stick with the same transition.Be creative but leave some color

choices to professionals.

not to overwhelm

eye to the text.

Use Simple Tables to Present Numbers

Use Tables

For Your Numbers

But Not too Many

This row 10 90 100

This row 0.6 0.4 1

This row 1 2 3

That row 1 2 3

• Try not to make footnotes too small

Basic Rules for Presentationsfor SOUND

Use only when necessary

Basic Rules for Presentationsfor ANIMATION

Make it Simple

Basic Rules for Presentationsfor ANIMATION

Use only when necessary


Don’t try to dazzle the audience with graphics or style…

but with the information.

The medium is not the message.The information is the message.

Basic Rules for Presentationsfor PERFORMANCE

Test your presentation


Time your presentation


Do not read the slides


Do not speak to the slides

Your Audience Gives You Clues

• Confusion• Questions• Boredom



For beginners, stick with a single background.

The background is the stage for your information.

Set the stage and leave it alone!


Balance.

• Generally, left-justify bullets.• This keeps things neat..• and easy to follow.

• Bullets imply no significant order

• Use numbers to show rank or sequence


Slides Don’t Prove Competence

• PowerPoint slides aren’t evidence you know your work.

• Work on communicating what you know, not on making slides.

• What will your audience remember when they leave the room?

YOU

These are just general guidelines…you know your students

better…“One Size Does Not Fit All”

be creative…make one that suits your

NEEDS…

But I’m sure this will be a good start

YOU

• Do not use the media to replace you

• The audience came to SEE you

• The media should ENHANCE the presentation, not BE the presentation

YOU

• If you’re only going to read from the slides, then just send them the slides!

• PowerPoint is not the only way to integrate technology in instruction

• Remember, only you can prevent “Death by PowerPoint”

“Death by PowerPoint”is a criticism of slide-based presentations

referring to a state of boredom and fatigue induced by information overload

during presentations
