It’s that time of the term for giving class presentations once again. Even when you have done a good project, how do you make an equally good presentation?
The main reason most PowerPoint presentations don’t stand out is lack of preparation. You already know the answer to that problem: know the content on your slides well and rehearse the presentation so your audience knows you know it.
But even when you are prepared, you can still make a bad presentation by failing to follow some simple guidelines for good presenting technique.
It contains pointers for good techniques to use, and common mistakes to avoid. There are video and slide tutorials, online examples of the “New Style” of PowerPoint, and numerous links to resources on using PowerPoint to communicate well.
Why, you’ll even find links to Talking Head David Byrne’s “I ♥ PowerPoint” lectures.
From Jeff Ammons, ASUPS Director of Technology Services:
This Friday ASUPS and Technology Services will host another Tech Talk. The talk is this Friday, November 21st at 12:00 pm in Lib020. As usual, food will be provided by Technology Services.
This month’s presenter will be Anna Cavender, another computer science graduate student from UW. She will be speaking about her research in developing technologies which enable disabled individuals to use computers and other devices. More specifically her work in developing a way for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to use cell phones.
Last August, Bryan Alexander from NITLE gave a workshop here at UPS on Web 2.0 Storytelling Tools. The workshop was well attended by faculty (see this page for resources gathered during the workshop).
