It’s all about ‘Story-Telling”

1. Distracting Background Templates
(not as cool as they look!)

2. Give Bullets the Bullet!
![Page 9: Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations By Paula Hall · Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations Based on 2 sources: 1. Extreme Makeover: PowerPoint Edition by Dean Shareski](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042803/5f44a090fb35ca4c6f7d837d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bullets are certainly useful for organising your information, however:
• We tend to put too many bulleted points on one slide that each need to be explained
• This means that students will be looking at the same slide for far too long
• And, if each line of text is the same colour those reading the slide tend to see the text as one big blur
So, what can we do instead?

3. DON’T JUST TELL ME – SHOW ME!

Images must be sharp and clear…

Extreme Makeover: PowerPoint Edition by Dean Shareski](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042803/5f44a090fb35ca4c6f7d837d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Never grainy or with pixels visible
![Page 17: Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations By Paula Hall · Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations Based on 2 sources: 1. Extreme Makeover: PowerPoint Edition by Dean Shareski](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042803/5f44a090fb35ca4c6f7d837d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Remember to define your images or blocks of texts – ‘framing’ can achieve this
![Page 18: Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations By Paula Hall · Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations Based on 2 sources: 1. Extreme Makeover: PowerPoint Edition by Dean Shareski](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042803/5f44a090fb35ca4c6f7d837d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CLEAR IMAGES / FRAMING / BACKGROUND
= far more dynamic!

Where can I get images from?

5. Tedious use of
‘Gimmicky’
that serve no real purpose Animations
At ALL!!!
‘Flashy’
![Page 21: Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations By Paula Hall · Tips for powerful PowerPoint presentations Based on 2 sources: 1. Extreme Makeover: PowerPoint Edition by Dean Shareski](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042803/5f44a090fb35ca4c6f7d837d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Another typical error is to place far too much information on a single slide. This applies to bulleted information or whole paragraphs of what we consider to be relevant facts. And, once we have filled up a slide in this manner we read every word back to the class as if they are incapable of reading it themselves!

Using Font that is difficult to read,
or where the contrast is not clear
Remember, just because it looks great on your monitor
Doesn’t mean it will work at a distance!
7. Other Typical Errors include:

To Recap…
It’s all about “Story-Telling” Template
backgrounds are not always best
Only use bullets if you
have to
Use clear, bold graphics
Avoid pointless Gimmicks! Don’t overload
your slides
Allow time for Questions
Because,
