PowerPoint

• Plan ahead for problems – take backups of presentation both in digital and as overhead transparencies or handouts.

• Focus the projector

• Adjust the lights so the slides and yourself are both visible

• Material must be presented in linear sequence

• Do not leave the projector on when not in use -- have a copy of your title side with your contact information as your last slide and leave this up instead of having a blank white screen

• Avoid using too many bells and whistle but do integrate websites and videos into you presentation when it is appropriate

• Avoid turning back on audience (talking to the screen or monitor) and come out from behind computer
