Tips for effective use- Don’t use moving text
When text comes on the screen we want people to be able to read it, and then refocus of the presenter
Moving text is hard to focus on
Tips for effective use – Blank the screen
If you want the screen to disappear to keep the audience focused on you
There are two ways to do it during your presentationTo get a black screen, just press the B keyTo get a white screen, just press the W keyTry it now
Tips for effect use – Have extra slides at the end
Having extra slides at the end prevents the screen from going to the program if by accident you advanced one too many time
The slides should be copies of the last slideAfter the last slide you should have a slide for
questions and answersThe very last slide should be blank
