By the end of the lesson, the students should have...

1. use hyperlinks to improve their slideshow[s];


2.embedded files and data to their slideshow[s] and
3.maximize slideshow[s] as an effective visual aid tool.
Keep the slide counts to a minimum to
maintain a clear message and to keep
the audience attentive.
Remember that the presentation is just
a visual aid.
Avoid being fancy by using a font style
that is not easy to read. Make sure that
it is also big enough to be read by the
audience. Consider how big the screen
is during your report.
Use bullets or short sentences.
Summarize the information on the
screen. Limit the content to six lines
and seven words per line.

This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.


New rule: 3 point rule
Use graphics to help your presentation
but not too many to distract the
audience instead use a table for data,
chart and graphs.
Make your design
uniform. Avoid
having different
font styles and
backgrounds
Use light font on dark background
or vice versa. This is done so that it is
easier to read.
In most instances, it is easier to
read on screen if the background is dark.
This is due to brightness of the screen.
