Powerpoint tips

After reading several articles on powerpoint, I have a few good tips to share. Most of the articles had similar advice for those giving presentations. The Top Ten Slide Tips concentrated on making slides interesting and visually pleasing. The recommendation for the faculty focused on communication through powerpoint. Finally, the really bad power points article told the reader specifically what not to do. Here are a few tips from all of the articles

DON'T
1. write too much on your slides
2. use chessy picture from clipart
3. use annoying transitions and sounds
4. misuse charts for information
5. read off your slides

DO
1. use nice pictures and backgrounds
2. write only key words
3. give out a handout after your presentation
4. have your own notes
5. pick visually pleasing colors

Hope these tips help!
