Tips for making a powerpoint
A speech, introduction, presentation is a performance.
Don't spoil it by using PowerPoint as a teleprompter.
This distracts from the impact, as the audience sees
what you see. If you need a reminder, write key words or
a diagram on a piece of paper that only you can see. If
you want to read texts, use paper, which is a far better
medium than PowerPoint,. If you use PowerPoint in a
lecture, always keep in mind that technology can let
you down. If this happens, you can still continue
reading, even if the PowerPoint presentation is not
working.
Hiermee wordt bedoeld dat de techniek je in de steek kan
laaten waardoor je verder moet spreken zonder
powerpoint.
Tips:
To create a PowerPoint presentation, think like a
filmmaker:
