Oh! I was tragic! He died of boredom! It
was death by PowerPoint!
Oh NO! Let me guess, he had Mrs. T for Social Studies?
Yep! Dropped over right
in 3rd period. . .
Death By PowerPoint
Some Basics to Remember:
• 5-7 bullets per slide
• 7-10 words per bullet
• Never smaller than size 24 font
• Don’t read the slide!!
• Too much animation is annoying.
• Watch your colors.
• Well placed animation is memorable.
