Effective Presentations - Planning
•Don’t put too much on each slide.
•Each slide can hold up to 1/6 of the amount you
might put on an A4 worksheet.
•Use lots of slides instead of cramming everything in.
Effective Presentations - Planning
•It is worth scribbling ideas for each slide on
paper, unless you have a brain that can
visualise things very clearly in advance.
Effective Presentations - Text
•All text needs a text box
•Don’t make text too small. Rough rule - at least double the text size you would use on a worksheet.
Effective Presentations - Bullet points
•Eyes blink more often when looking at a big screen, so it is harder for students to keep track of their place.
•Use bullet points to help eyes to navigate the text.
•Don’t use too many bullet pointsRough rule - Divide the year group by 2, and that gives maximum number of bullet points.
Example:
11 / 2 = 5.5 so Year 11 will cope best with maximum of 5 or 6 bullet points
Effective Presentations - Colours
•Contrast is very important. Projected images are harder to see anyway!
•Set colours using the Fill, Line and Font Color tools
•It’s tiring to look at a slideshow if the colours keep changing. Maybe change colour schemes at the end of each section?

•Set background colour by right-clicking.
Light Background needs Dark Text

•Beware of faded backgrounds - at some point they will probably merge with the text
