It has only been in the past few years where teachers and professors have made powerpoint enjoyable. The first teachers would read off the screen in the class but also give copies of the presentations to us so we could make our own notes. Talk about redundancy! Thankfully, teachers and professors have taken classes that [...]

In my educational history i have fallen asleep during many a powerpoint presentation, where the professors have read verbatim all the information on the slides. They could have emailed me this presentation and i could have gleaned all the information i needed and not made the effort of coming to class. The most important parts [...]

After reviewing the videos and online material for creating interesting digital presentations, I learned that I have made numerous boring Power Point presentations throughout my educational career. In order to make useful digital presentations for my future students, I must completely change my thinking and methods for using Power Point and Keynote by keeping the [...]

There were several helpful hints about useful presentation; however, the following are the three most important things taken: Keep it simple. The worst thing is to try to fit too much information into one slide. The presenter should provide the information during the presentation, not the powerpoint or keynote presentation. A Picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures [...] -

I heard about this in one of my business classes during undergrad – companies encourage exercise by providing TreadDesks (or other similar products). http://www.treaddesk.com/ These innovations allow employees to walk while working. The specific example I heard in class encouraged employees to walk for 20 minutes upon first getting to work while they check their [...]

1) Capture the students’ attention. Since students are forced to be in the classroom, you cannot assume that all students are there to learn. You must make presentations interesting to all students (or as many as possible) in order to actually teach students the information. 2) Use a variety of techniques in your presentations. Not [...]

(If you see this, you are failing.) 1) Thou Shall Keep it Simple: A common theme throughout the posts and videos! Some suggestions: never exceed 4 images/ideas in a slide, aim for the concept of a slide to be understandable in10 seconds, and avoid excessive effects. 2) Thou Shall Not Fill Thy Slides With Text: Too much text on [...] -

Three critical ideas that I took from these videos, articles and presentations are: 1) Don’t use too much text; 2) Intersperse presentations with interactive learning activities at least every 10 minutes; 3) People have better retention of knowledge when they associate pictures with the concepts, so good use of pictures/illustrations/video in a presentation is likely to [...]

Every human being is captured by the element of surprise. By overloading the senses with a white background, black font, and bullet points, students will start daydreaming about a more colorful world, which most likely will have nothing to do with the current lesson.
