  1. PowerPoint Just the Basics Linn/UCA/June 2006

  2. Overview • Consider the Audience, Equipment, and Room • Plan for the Unexpected • Make it Relevant • Keep it Simple • Reflect and Revise Linn/UCA/June 2006

  3. Consider the Audience, Equipment, and Room • Grade/Age/Subject • Objectives • Prior knowledge/understanding • Presentation Time (Minutes) • Equipment Required • Lighting/Sound/Seating Linn/UCA/June 2006

  4. Plan for the Unexpected • File won’t open • Computer won’t work • Copy machine is broken • Network is down • Projector won’t work • Too many students absent • Room is too light • Speakers won’t work • Video isn’t as expected Linn/UCA/June 2006

  5. Make it Relevant • Tell them why • Students will know • Time is too valuable • Too many good resources available • Students remember the “real things” Linn/UCA/June 2006

  6. Keep it Simple . . . • Alignment—left justified • Capitalization—avoid all CAPS • Brevity—8 by 8 rule • Fonts—36-point for titles and 24-point for other text • Readability—must be read from back of room Linn/UCA/June 2006

  7. Keep it Simple. . . • Contrast—EX: light type on dark background • Informality—Slides as prompts or outlines not as cue cards; interact with audience • Visuals—Pictures, outlines, graphs, etc. in place of text (Photos are good but make file much larger) Linn/UCA/June 2006

  8. Keep it Simple • Clip Art—Enliven your slideshow but remember the reason for the presentation (Free Clip Art: www.DiscoverySchool.com or www.gemsgallery.org) • Backgrounds—Use basic colors or slide design templates Linn/UCA/June 2006

  9. Reflect and Revise • Review and reevaluate after the presentation • Make notes to clarify points • Revise/edit as needed • Save where you can find it • Learn new things Linn/UCA/June 2006

  10. Think about it . . . . Some must see. Some must hear. Some must do. And some learn best when offered all three. Are we meeting the needs of all learners? Linn/UCA/June 2006
