  12. Mr. Rowe’s Business Plan “I sell up-market cars that have been renovated with superb modern body kits and alloy wheels. There is a lot of interest in my business as everybody loves cars of these types. I am extremely passionate about my business and I am confident that I will make a large profit over the next five years. At present I have some money to invest in my business but I am looking for a total of €100,000 to build a workshop and renovate the show rooms. The cars usually sell for between €72,000 and €110,000 euro. I hope to make a lot of money and return the investment in the next 5 years.”

  13. Mr. Magner’s Business Plan “My business has been going for 10 years. It is located in Dublin City Centre. We sell antique jewellery. We have two very experienced managers and three sales persons. Our business has grown steadily over the last seven years and our extensive market research has shown there is a definite potential for growth and little competition in the area. I am investing €10,000 in my business but I am looking for another €5000 in order to build an extension which will house a show room for our very finest pieces of jewellery. Our final accounts for the last 3 years have shown profits of above €8000 each year. I have provided a cash flow plan for the next twelve months also.”

  14. Ms. Coyne’s Business Plan “I started up my business myself 4 years ago developing educational board games for schools. Since then my business has grown immensly and I now employ 50 staff who are involved in the design, development and distribution of these games. Recent market research has shown a potential market in selling to schools around the country. We currently have several large orders but are struggling to meet demands as production is quite slow. I am looking for a total of €70,000 in order to purchase machinery that would speed up production and enable me to employ another 2 people.

  29. Get the point (not the PowerPoint!) Use ppt as a stimulus to engage… Control the slide format yourself Add texture or colour to create interest Use your own photos: help from colleagues! Manage contrast text & background colour YOU CAN BE CREATIVE!

  30. Use it to structure an activity… Do not use it to structure your entire lesson!

  33. To Sum it all up… Most effective if it has a narrative or an activity to engage the students Your slides are there to back you up: not the other way around! Draw on popular culture for the stimulus to engage students: tv, music, sport, games… etc.

  34. Summary cntd… When deciding on images, make sure they have a purpose Avoid PowerPoint‘templates’ slides Use contrast for text & background Sharing resources is a good idea … but even better if you create them with colleagues…
