Thoughts to consider when presenting
Basic & Theoretical Considerations
Think about what you want to do,
think about how people react to visual stimuli,
think about how you manage your and their time.
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.
Rules to live by
Hammer it home
- tell them what you're going to tell them
- tell them
- tell them what you told them
