 | Follow the 7 by 7 rule. Each PowerPoint slide should have no more
than 7 words across and 7 lines down.
|
 | The technology is to be an aid to the speaker and listener.
Presentation should be shown in bullet form rather that giving all of the
information. The presenter's job is to fill in the information.
|
 | Glance at the presentation slides as a guide, but to not read the
information off the board.
|
 | The presentation slides are you guide. Do not use other papers.
The only other materials you may need for your presentation would be artifacts that
you would like the audience to see and you will be explaining the connection.
|
 | Presentation tools are meant to add interest to your presentation.
Pictures and graphs are helpful to the visual learner. Use "bells and
whistles" in a limited way. They should be used every once in a while to add
interest, but over use is distracting.
|
 | If you have used textbooks, resource materials, quotes, etc., add a
bibliography and give the authors credit. This can be added as the last slide.
|
 | Practice your presentation. Your enthusiasm and your interest in
the topic will be the greatest asset to your presentation.
