  16. A Bad Slide This is a great example of what not to do for a presentation slide. The longer I type and read aloud, the harder it becomes for you to follow along.

When you create a presentation, make it SIMPLE! Don’t cram as much as you can into one slide or read directly from it. Throw in pictures, videos, diagrams, or even questions that you can ask your participants. • E-Learning
