From the past 2 classes we have been learning about powerpoint. To be honest I thoght I new everything about powerpoint and I thoght I was a expert but you know what Mr Case?..... I was wrong. I never new that, when doing a powerpoint presentation we shouldn't put a video clip aur a moving object in the slide. We should put a simple slide, because we want to catch the audience attention on you not the slide. A good way to start a presentation is to BLANK A SCREEN. BY USING THE "B" KEY TO BLANK THE SCREEN. It's good to do that so the audience don't know what your going to talk about. You want to make them curious and exuberant about what your going to talk about. By making a template in your powerpoint will make the powerpoint seem professional.
Some teachers and students but the worst sounds in their presentation. DO NOT DO THAT. that just makes the presentaion seem like your in kindergarten and your using those ugly sounds. Still teachers and students make that mistake and think it's fun and c00l. BUT IT'S NOT.
If you want to teach someone about anything on your slide, you can add a arrow. On which they can refer back to the previous slide.
You can use backgrounds but the text writting that you do on it make sure it shows. Don't use a colour like ;red and yellow because that will hurt the viwers eye. So make sure that your colour of text is suited on that background.
Do not fill up the slides with a lot of pictures and a lot of text. powerpoint presentations are for jont notes and the rest you have to expand on it. If you put a lot of words and read off it directly, that will make the presentation very boring.
