What is Presentation Slide?

A slide is a single page of a presentation. It is contains text and images used to present in a large audience. It can be
created in a pieces of softwares such as Prezi, Focusky, WPS Presentation and Microsoft Powerpoint.
Powerpoint is currently the most popular slides presentation program. In your Grade 7 years, you were taught on what
was a MS Powerpoint and how to use it. This time you will learn the tips in making an effective powerpoint presentation.

Topic: Tips in Effective Powerpoint Presentation

Have you been into a meeting, seminar or even a classroom reporting, where you get stuck on a bad Powerpoint
presentation? Where the reporter is just reading what's on his/her slides?What did you feel?
As quoted by Fred R. Barnard, "a picture is worth a thousand words" which means it is often easier to show something in
a picture than to describe it words. So why not use more graphics rather than presenting a slide with full of text , colors and
font styles? Worst, reading the full text infront of your audience? Can't they read it by themselves?
How can you deliver your message to your audience without making them feel drawn-out and boring? Check out the ten
tips in creating an effective Powerpoint Presentation that will help you to add a little zing! to your presentation below.

1. Keep it short and simple

Creating a powerpoint presentation will just be a piece of cake if you know how to use its applications. But it doesn’t
mean that just because you can, you should use it all. You should bear in mind that a Presentation Slide tool is used to

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." -Thomas Jefferson

support your story but not literally telling the whole story in full text. You may use bullets or numbers and be direct to the point.
This will make your audience focus their attention to you by listening rather than reading what is on your slides.

2. Showing data on your slide? Visualize these as much as possible.

It is good to have a well explain report but putting all that you want to say in one slide doesn't make sense at all. Simplify
and limit the number of words on each screen. Whenever your presentation contains a lot of data, it might drawn-out your
audience. Use key phrases and include only essential information. It might be easier to convey information by using visuals or
graphics instead of using texts. PowerPoint offers a wide variety of graphs, which are ideal for presenting data. In this way,
your audience immediately knows what you mean.

3. Limit transitions and animations

It is very nice to see presentations with moving texts or characters, right? But don’t you know too much is not good?
Overuse of special effects such as transitions , animations and sounds may make your presentation distracting and childish.
Avoid the use of flashy transitions such as text fly-ins. These features may seem impressive at first, but are distracting and
get old quickly. A simple ‘fade’ effect to go from slide to slide is more than enough. Again, the phrase ‘less is more’ is
applicable.

4. Use high quality graphics

In creating slide presentation, usually text is supported by an image which makes our presentation more interesting. But
before you add images on your slide presentation. Please make use of high quality graphics. Take for example, when you do
a car presentation. You usually picked the first picture on Google Images without checking how will it affect your presentation.
Make sure when you searched images online, it should support the message on your slide and it is a high quality image so as
not to make your presentation look unprofessional or childish. This is also to ensure that your image maintains its impact and
resolution when projected on a larger screen.

5. Set a theme on your presentation

Why your presentation needs a theme? A theme gives your presentation a sense of direction, unity and consistency. It
also define your audience and the purpose of the presentation. Thus, Powerpoint has many built-in themes and templates
that you can use. But it would be better to create your own so that you don't force yourself to fit your ideas into someone
else's pre-packaged mold. Create your own template with distinctive look, and it should be related to your presentation.

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." -Thomas Jefferson

6. Use appropriate charts
When you are presenting numerical data in a graphical way, make sure you know what type of charts you should use.
You may refer to the previous lessons about the different types of charts.

7. Use color well

Colours are often used to give your slide presentation a “life”. When choosing colors for your presentation make sure
you choose the right use of color in the right place and audience. It is also important to define the purpose of your
presentation upon picking colors.
It’s good to see your slides with vibrant colors, but take note that this is only applicable for primary school. For formal
setting, it is best to limit your font color to three so as not to make your presentation childish.

8. Choose you fonts well

When choosing fonts for your presentation please take note of the following.
 Do not use more than two font faces
 Choose complimentary fonts which would look together
 Pick a classic font instead of a creative one
 Picking the wrong font can make your text unreadable to your audience
 Avoid using cursive font
 If the computer you are presenting on does not have the font you used installed, PowerPoint will be replace it
with a random fonts such Verdana, Calibri and Helvetica.
 Know that the standard font style for presentation is 28-32 point size and 36 -44 point size for titles.

9. Use Video or Audio sparingly

Adding videos or audios to your presentation may help increase the audience 's interest in your topic and they also direct
your audience to your point. But limit its application, for research has shown that when there is movement on the screen, it
drawns attention to the audience, thus breaking their concentration on the presentation content. So learn when and what
videos you need to embed in your presentation.
10. Simplify your tables as much as possible
If you want to present information or numerical data, you may also use tables. But sometimes, people tend to
over-design tables with lots of colours and borders. It is important to visualize the tables as simple as possible.

Topic: Smart Art

SmartArt graphics allows you to communicate information with graphics instead of merely using text. Using visualization
helps audiences understand your presentation. In PowerPoint, you can use a variety of styles that you can use to illustrate
present the results of research. To know how to insert, add, convert, modify SmartArt graphic, open page 84-94 on your
Empowerment Technology ebook.
