Doing presentations has become trickier
than usual. Too many images in it and presentations are pegged
distracting. Too many texts in it and your audience will prefer to
reading than listening. Powerpoint presentations have been constantly upgraded to accommodate the
latest online freebies in background, layout, et cetera; yet it
doesn’t give students a firm grasp on the necessary balance of
image and text, visual and audio.
For all of these presentation dilemmas,
below are some helpful guidelines in keeping you and your Powerpoint
presentations interesting and well-aligned:
- Manage your images and texts. Start by making a list of presentation priorities. After the tedious job of putting everything in the slides, check it again with your list. In the course of such measure, you might find things that need not be presented or that doesn’t coincide with the rest of the slides.
- After your visuals, check on your audio: that means you. Apart from making your Powerpoint presentations ready, you must make certain that you, the presenter, is equally ready. In fact, in the list of presentation priorities, you as the presenter should be number one. A very good presentation will never make sense with an unprepared presenter.
- Check for compatibility – in everything. Is your presentation saved in a format compatible with any PC or laptop? Is the tone of your presentation highly apt with the topic? Are you addressing your audience best with just your voice, or does it require the reinforcement of facial expressions, hands, or body?
After all the research, preparation,
and pep talk, students should perform. They must do all their
efforts justice by aiming to successfully apply everything in
presentation. At the end, nothing beats the tiresome activities with
a bunch of satisfied people -- instructor, the audience and you, the
presenter.
