8. Powerpoint Secrets of Great Presentations

[MickeyTafty]

Ugh people. Give up on PPT. If there's anything I hate about going to a college course, it's paying exorbitant amounts of money for a professor that reads off of the screen. >.<

Thanks Patrick. Do you have any advice on using PowerPoint for a single person audience in an e-learning type of mode, where audio is included in the presentation, and the information is mostly technical? Thanks for your thoughts

[TONYOPSUFO]

Thanks for point well made. Actually a lot of material online is copyright free - in all media. Patrick

[sweetishjeebar]

You made some very good points. I never really noticed how much of my understanding of a topic came from good image and text relationship. Images, when used properly, can definitely complement what your saying and propel comprehension.

[illwobble]

Would you not also say that many people just shouldn't use powerpoint at all! Or that for many people or for many presentations they'd be far better without any powerpoint at all unless they're going to use it effectively (i.e. not just text that gets read out). It does take a lot of time putting a powerpoint together, when you'd often rather be working out what you're actually going to say that wrestling with google images or working out how to embed a video.

[pjvdixon]

Can be true but Powerpoint preparation also makes you think about what to say - and how to say it in a clear way. Sometimes I prepare a powerpoint but do not use it. I often speak without powerpoint when I want t be able to respond very flexibly to the audience. Remember many speakers only come alive in question and answer sessions for these reasons.

[thetruthhurts77]

That's why you have to practice almost every slide in oder to be effective. I only use power point when i have time...but, my mentor...soon to pjvdixon....is right about what he is saying! Anyhow, people like buy/own something if they like you too.

[Nkatsikanis]

Yeah but it takes ages to make them like that :)
