Five Things I CANNOT STAND About A Bad Powerpoint:
1. Clutter: Use more than one slide if you have THAT much to say
2. Disorganization: There are templates for a reason. It's not that difficult to make sure the font is the same size and type!
3. Blurry Pictures: If the picture is poor quality, find another one to get your point across. I don't want to spend 5 minutes trying to figure out what the picture is.
4. Excessive Sound Effects: I don't want to hear a new sound effect after every word of the presentation. Do not, under any circumstances, use the typewriter sound effect!
5. Too small a font: I don't want to use a magnifying glass to read the powerpoint. Make it big enough for everyone to read it easily, even from the back of the room!
If all the gets sorted out, Powerpoint can be an extremely useful tool to communicate an idea. More specifically, Powerpoint is ideal for school presentations. With this program, you can link audio, video, graphs, charts, tables, and images to further explain your point or topic of discussion. Powerpoint makes it easy to present ideas in an organized, educational, and aesthetically pleasing way.
Excessive sound effects are the worst!
