1.Use more useful visuals or give handouts
2.Use clear headings, numbered lists
or very few bulleted outlines
3.Design and leverage PowerPoint’s non-linear and non-hierarchical capabilities
4.Use plain, non-distracting backgrounds; use information rich and relevant images

1.Interactivity
2.MS Producer for PPT
3.Articulate Presenter
4.Impatica for PowerPoint
5.Games
6.Digital Stories
We need to think of ways to get students to interact and actively engage in their learning.
Move Beyond Static Text
MS Producer is a good tool if you want to add audio and video to your slides.It is also free!Articulate Presenter offers a seamless (but expensive) alternative to Producer. Also has quiz making tools.
Impatica is an easy tool to covert PowerPoint slides for the web.PowerPoint can used to create learning games to engage students online
Digital stories can be an effective way to build teacher presence online.
