Presentation Lab


Doing the presentation

Here is a link to the slide show from Monday's class: Gradesheet Tasks; PPXpress Start

Try out your presentation in advance

  • check to see if the timings of the transitions and animations will work for the audience
  • pay particular attention to how much time it takes for animations to occur
  • remember that most audiences do not have a lot of time to spend waiting for things to happen

The eye can see and understand concepts very quickly.
The quicker your presentation can get in,
make a positive impression,
and get out,
the better off you will be.

Key principles to consider

  • focus on the audience's needs and build your visuals to conform to their expectations and your message
  • simple and effective is preferable to complex and confusing

Rules to live by

Hammer it home

  1. tell them what you're going to tell them
  2. tell them
  3. tell them what you told them

Less is More

Watch it on your own.
