Using
Power Point Effectively: GIVING AN EFFECTIVE POWER POINT
PRESENTATION
Things To Do:
Practice with equipment beforehand; have
backup in case equipment fails.
Adjust lighting as needed
for best viewing.
Stand next to the screen rather than
the projector so the audience doesn't have to split its attention.
(Use remote if possible.)
Talk about what is on the current overhead or slide.
It is confusing to the audience to be looking at one thing and
hearing about something else. (If you need to discuss something
not represented in your slides, turn the projector to stand-by.)
Allow minimum 20 seconds per slide.
Talk to the audience,
not to the screen.
Do not read text-talk about it and bring it to life.
Contextualize and explain graphics.
Maintain eye contact
with audience.
Avoid blocking view of
screen.
Provide a verbal transition
from one slide to the next. It is more effective to verbally cue
the next slide before displaying it than to use the next slide
to cue you about what to say next.
