Pleasure

“It is difficult to imagine effective teachers who do not have an abiding fascination with their subjects, who do not love being among students, and who do not gain fulfillment from nourishing others’ minds and lives . . . Teaching, that is, ought to bring and give pleasure of many kinds; it should be play as well as work . . . At its very best, teaching is a form of intellectual play in which students are invited to join.”

Guideline #1Guideline #1

Your audience is focused on you, not the slides.



Your audience is listening to you, not reading the slides.



If you use text, it should be brief and to the point.



A picture is worth a thousand words.



Maps and charts can be effectively used.



Special effects will distract your audience.



Consistent design and effects make following slides easier.



Use the “build” technique for more complex ideas.
