Power. Point Is Good For: � � � � Providing structure for presenter and audience Clarifying complex content Moving from data to information Disguising lackluster content in an interesting format Reusable presentations Subsequent distribution and web access Drawing pictures for Word or Excel files

Power. Point Pitfalls � Good presentations � Take a long time to prepare � Place increased demands on presenter Audience engagement Crutch not tool � Require skills practice and presentation rehearsal Expound content rather than read slides � Use of Power. Point � Discourages audience engagement Active Listening, Questions, Note taking � Is completely inflexible fraught with technical pitfalls Projectors, remote controls, web links, file access, displayed desktops, etc.

Cooks Tour

Preparation Strategy � � � Define “Success” for the presentation Determine the 2 to 5 “Take-aways” Story board the message – make it flow Problem to Solution to Justification Use low number of high value slides Pictures not words Tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em Tell ‘em what you’ve told ‘em Keep handouts until the end End with punch line – not “Questions? ”

Summary (ish) Power. Point? Does the Message need the Medium? Do Logistics dictate the Medium? Planning Measurable success criteria Tell ‘em… Pictures not words Logistics Run though on the target system Time to make corrections Minimize dependencies (Murphy rules)

Assignment � Present a Proof in 5 minutes � � � � No more than 2 slides Use imported files (preferably moving with audio) Use drawing shapes Use Math. Type or Equation Editor Use animation Do something with color gradients Use a Power. Point feature we haven’t discussed
