  2. The Bad … • Change of color scheme • Gratutous clip art • Distracting transitions • Long sentences, lots of text on the slideinstead of bullets. Small fonts make readability difficult in the back of the classroom. Overuse of bold, italics, font sizes, colors.

  3. The Bad cont. • Cont. instead of just the same title • Sound that doesn’t add anything • Too much clutter • I particularly dislike full sentences that wrap to the next line and could have been cut instead of running on. • Too many bullets • Running off the slide due to above • Putting text below slide space

  4. The Bad cont. • Cont. instead of just the same title • Sound that doesn’t add anything • Too much clutter • I particularly dislike full sentences that wrap to the next line and could have been cut instead of running on. • Too many bullets • Running off the slide due to above • Putting text below slide space

  5. The Bad ... Switching color for no reason just distracts. Sometimes you need a paragaraph for a quote or definition. Put it on a slide by itself instead of crowding your slide with a number of lines. This is hard to read. What do you think of the color and the long paragraph? How about the misspelling?

  6. The Bad … • This is my students’ favorite clipart. • Note that sound may or may not help the audience attend to what you are saying. • Most included sounds are short but you can record your own. Note style change

  7. The Ugly ... • Too much of anything • Sickening transitions • Bad color schemes • Distracting sounds

  8. The Ugly … Too much of a good thing • Since all three of our kids have started college, the Bast family outflow has taken a BIG upsurge!

  9. Examples of What’s Available • Title slide • Bullet • Combination text and graphic • Organization chart • Chart (graph) • Word Tables

  10. Will Students Come If You Provide Handouts?

  11. Colour - Bad • Using a font colour that does not contrast with the background colour is hard to read • Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying. • Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary • Using a different colour for secondary points is also unnecessary • Trying tobe creativecan alsobe bad

  12. Background – Bad • Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from • Always be consistent with the background that you use

  13. Graphs - Bad

  14. Graphs - Bad
