Tips (Not The Finger Kind!)

So, now that you know how the basics of Microsoft PowerPoint, let's go on with presentation......

Our teacher taught us ten tips on using Microsoft PowerPoint so, here they are:

1. Use compelling material.
“PowerPoint doesn't give presentations —PowerPoint makes slides"

2. Keep it simple.
"Don't gum up the works with too many words and graphics", "Do you really need to have everything up on the screen?"

3. Minimize numbers in slides.
“If you want to emphasize a statistic in PowerPoint, consider using a graphic or image to convey the point.”

4. Don't parrot PowerPoint.
"Those people didn't come to see the back of your head."

5. Time your remarks.
"It's an issue of timing. Never talk on top of your slides."

6. Give it a rest.

7. Use vibrant colors.








8. Import other images and graphics.
“Don't limit your presentation to what PowerPoint offers. Use outside images and graphics for variety and visual appeal, including video.”

9. Distribute handouts at the end —not during the presentation.
“You cannot serve two masters at a time.”

10. Edit ruthlessly before presenting.
“Assume you're just one of the folks listening to your remarks as you review them.”
