TOO MUCH TEXT? • PowerPoint is not the presenter, you are. • The audience didn’t come to read your slides. • When used correctly, PowerPoint Provides something to remember, or help the audience understand your topic. WHERE CAN ALL THIS CONTENT GO?
TOO MUCH? • We are all trained to communicate verbally. • We are not trained to communicate visually. • That’s why people write too much in PowerPoint. SUBTITLING DOESN’T HELP!
WHAT GOES ON THE SLIDE? Does the content help them understand? Do they need to remember the content?
ONE TOPIC PER SLIDE
SLIDE CONTENT TAKE-AWAYS: Does the content help them understand? Do they need to remember the content? One topic per slide.
USING BULLETS: • Don‘t be ANNOYING! • One by One. • Bring them up at the END!
POWERPOINT IDEAS • Don’t read to them! • What goes on a slide? • One topic per slide
