  3. It doesn’t have to be that way! • Make slides accessible for students to take notes on (i.e., print or post slides) • Minimize the number of words on each screen • Use animations to pace the flow of presentation • Use images and videos to illustrate points

  4. Printing or posting slides • I post or print simplified versions of my slides for students • Keep jargon-y definitions • Lose images (that don’t belong to me) and examples WHAT STUDENTS HAVE IN FRONT OF THEM:

  5. What is an “Attitude”? • “Learned evaluative response, directed at specific objects, which is relatively enduring and influences and motivates our behavior towards those objects” (Lippa, 1994) • … huh?

  9. Preparing Hand outs How To • Save as PDF • Click “options” and choose “handouts”

  10. Minimizing Words on the Screen Too Many Words!

  11. Minimizing Words on the Screen • Either split the words up across multiple slides…

  12. Minimizing Words on the Screen • Or, cut words and use the blanks to generate discussion

  13. Using Animations • Animations (like “appear” and “disappear”) allow you to pace the flow of information • Keeps students focused on the right spot • (I’m not suggesting you use the “fancy” animations which might just be distracting)

  14. Using Animations BAD GOOD • Participants read that “Jack” had been selected from a group of 100 men and were asked “What is the probability that Jack is an engineer?” • Base Rate Info: • ½ told 30 were engineers • ½ told 70 were engineers • Consistency Info: • 1/3 told no info • 1/3 told engineer consistent • 1/3 told engineer inconsistent • Results? • Participants read that “Jack” had been selected from a group of 100 men and were asked “What is the probability that Jack is an engineer?” • Base Rate Info: • ½ told 30 were engineers • ½ told 70 were engineers • Consistency Info: • 1/3 told no info • 1/3 told engineer consistent • 1/3 told engineer inconsistent • Results?

  15. Using Animations BAD GOOD Probability Probability

  16. Animations – How To • Click on “animations” in the tool bar • Choose between entrance, exit, and emphasis options • Can change the order of appearance, or choose for things to auto-advance

  17. Use Images and Videos • Power Point allows for more than just lectures

  18. Use Images and Videos • Images and videos help to illustrate points • And, importantly, can generate discussion

  19. Image & Video How To • Images  copy and paste from your own photos, the internet, etc. • Videos/Audio  can embed them directly by clicking “insert” then “video” and choosing whether it is from a file or a website

  20. In Conclusion…
