PowerPoint: How to Use Technology Effectively

 

PowerPoint

PowerPoint is a wonderful presentation aid but it is not without its pitfalls.

 

  PowerPoint Presentations Slideshow

For this unit, our job is to learn how to create and present with PowerPoint.  That is, to learn not only what makes a good presentation, but to learn what can cause a presentation to go badly as well.  Click the link above to view a PowerPoint slide show on PowerPoint presentations.

The slideshow begins with a list of ways to make your PowerPoint presentation easy to read and understand, then goes through each point on the list to demonstrate what happens if you don't follow these guidelines.  The show then concludes with a list of PowerPoint mistakes to avoid.

Use the arrow keys on each slide to navigate through the presentation.
