PowerPoint Presentations

I recognized that all the articles emphasized the key idea of keeping it simple. I undoubtedly agree. The focus of any presentation, including a PowerPoint presentation, should be the speaker. Thus, when the PowerPoint has frivolous animation, picture, information, it all detracts from the speaker, making the PowerPoint presentation less effective. A PowerPoint is simply a means to get your message across; it should not the focus of the presentation.

Guidelines to a good PowerPoint presentation:
-Be clear and precise
-Do not have unnecessary distractors
-Be in control of the presentation; don't let the PowerPoint take over
-Keep it SIMPLE but engaging
-Make it easy to read and follow; the audience loose interest and get annoyed if they have to strain to read the PowerPoint
