Power corrupts. It's rude to point. Combine the two - power, point - and the results can be downright disastrous. It doesn't have to be that way. The Pedagogy of PowerPoint shows you what to do (and what not to do) in your next presentation. You'll learn: * How to stop using bullet points in presentations (don't worry, you can still use them in course descriptions). * Where to find inspiration for your next presentation. * Why it's important to rev up your presentation prowess. * How to utilize screen real estate and physical space for maximum impact. * And much more.

Rarely, if ever, is a method presented actually Matthew’s, but he did go through the trouble of compiling them for you, so please don’t sue him. He’s a nice guy.

- 42. Yawning, and smearing my eyes with my fingers, I walked bleary eyed into the kitchen and grabbed the kettle, unhooking it from the cord. I turned the tap and drew fresh water, checking with my hands to make sure it was cold enough (the best tea comes from the coldest water!). I filled the kettle as I glanced outside for a minute across the city mist. I could almost taste the grey. The kettle was half full, so I switched the tap off and returned it to its socket. I flicked the power switch on and sifted through the cupboards, looking for biscuits. Anything above loose crumbs would do. Thankfully I found some fusty digestives. For some reason, biscuits are nicer always nicer when they're they've gone a bit dry and stale. I reached over and opened the fridge, retrieving the milk. I poured a little into a mug at the same time as grabbing the mug from the cupboard and placing it on the surface. This is a technique I made that doesn't really save any time, but makes me feel clever. The kettle began grumbling fiercely so I took it from the cord, threw a teabag into my cup and poured boiling water onto it. I watched brown swirls rise up and through the muted white of milky water. A few minutes passed. I removed and squeezed the teabag, then flicked it into the bin. I picked up my mug and left the kitchen with a nice, hot cup of strong tea.

Notas del editor
- I do have just one more housekeeping item to go over with you.
- The first is about the WebEx software we’re using. You can ask a question at anytime using the chat window at the bottom right side of the screen. You can also change the look of your screen by opening or closing the windows to the right using the arrows, sliding this bar to the right or left, or by expanding or reducing your screen using the tools in the bottom left.
- And that is,I encourage you to get out your smart phones. This presentation will utilize Quick Response, or QR, Codes, and if you have a QR code reader on your smart phone, you can scan the code for additional content and ideas.
- Bullet points
- …your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device.
- So this is actually a brand new addition to this presentation which I came across today when I was looking to infuse some exclusive new content into this presentation for you, and it pretty much sums up every reason why you shouldn’t use bullet points in your presentation.Right there on the screen you can see that bullet points are just kind of flat and boring. They certainly don’t do much to engage the senses or excite participants, do they? Lots of times people use too much text when they’re using bullet points.And another thing to keep in mind – well – people read faster than presenters can talk. How many of you have already read this slide and you’re ready to start checking your email as I keep talking?
- One of the first trends I want to show you is why you should stay away from bullet points in your next presentation. Let’s take a look at an example.
- You could end up like this. And nobody wants to end up like this.
- Bullet points
- Not this KISS. How did this get here? Shelly, did you put this in my slide deck?
- Go.I cringe when I see presentations like this. I know there’s a story somewhere in there, but my poor little overworked brain can’t find it. As a participant, I want you to make it easy for me.
- Make your story stand out for me so I don’t have to think so hard about what’s going on in your slide and I can focus on you.
- That’s not to say the narrative isn’t important. It is – the storytelling component is GOOD. The story here is GOOD. Not bestseller good, but good. It includes sensory details and takes the audience on a relatable journey. If you take OhioNet’s workshop with Ruth Millilgan on storytelling, you’ll learn why these details are good to include (shelly, when’s that coming up?)But the story goes into your notes, not on the screen.
- On the left is Steve Jobs, at a product launch presentation for…apple computers. On the right, Mr. Gates has returned and is still talking about all the things Windows Live should be able to do.It’s really uncanny how different their two approaches are – ASK: What are the major differences you see?ANSWERS MAY INCLUDE: Jobs’ is simpler, more direct; Gates’ is full to the brim, almost chaotic and overloaded.You can see that Gates’ presentation is definitely busier than Jobs’, perhaps overwhelming the audience with visual and auditory information, whereas Jobs’ presentation is much simpler, cleaner, and direct. Gates’ clip art might be relevant, but it’s overused. The trend now is to stick with one major idea per slide, with one major graphic to help support it – less is more.
- Clipart is Cliché.Let’s play a game. I’ll flash a word on the screen, and you tell me what image everybody uses for it (including you and me, because we’re all guilty of it) – I want the most common, clichéd metaphor for the word. Use the chat box to type in your responses.Ready?
- Let’s start with an easy one.Idea – (response – “light bulb”)
- Let’s start with an easy one.Idea – (response – “light bulb”)
- What about teamwork? (Response – “puzzle”)
- What about teamwork? (Response – “puzzle”)
- How about “Any questions”? (Response – “Question mark”)Of course, many of us DO have a question mark that floats over our heads…especially when we’ve just sat through a really bad presentation. Maybe this one isn’t so far off, after all.
- How about “Any questions”? (Response – “Question mark”)Of course, many of us DO have a question mark that floats over our heads…especially when we’ve just sat through a really bad presentation. Maybe this one isn’t so far off, after all.
- So when IS the last time you sat down with a jigsaw puzzle at a staff meeting? When’s the last time you had an idea, just as the electricity came on in the morning? Are the questions you want from your audience centered around the rules of punctuation? No?Then why use these images on your slides?We were able to come up with these answers pretty quickly together, which means we’ve seen them all before. They’re common. They’re forgettable. Why not try something new to really grab your audience’s attention? Here’s the deal, folks. I’m not saying all clipart is “wrong” or “bad,” or that there isn’t ever a place for common metaphors (of course there is – otherwise they wouldn’t be “common”), but my challenge to you is to think twice before you start searching for your next image. You can do this simply by asking yourself, “How does this image enhance this slide?” Soon you’ll start asking yourself, “How does this image enhance my presentation?” If the image does neither, then, why take up space with it?Now…how many of you have handshake clip art you might re-consider before you present again? ;)
- …so what do you think I was doing when this screen was being displayed. Do you think I was paying attention or do you think I was checking emails? What would *you* do? If you’re presenting a webinar and your slides look like this, what do you think your audience will do?Let’s just say I got a lot of emails answered during that session.
- Another source of inspiration comes at you at least weekly, often on Sundays. Does anyone know? There’s a hint for you in the corner here.
- A word on copyright…
- It’s best to avoid trouble in that area. Cite your sources, ask permission, or…
- Do it yourself. We’re in the digital age, and there are many resources available that can teach you how to do these things yourself.
- Which I thought would be worthy of launching into the internet with recorded audio.
- But one of the reasons Kirstin is such an awesome librarian is because she didn’t let this answer stop her.
- Kirstin went back to the drawing board
- And came up with a newer, better, and even awesomer presentation with customized characters.
- Kirstin took the DIY concept to heart and created an entire series of animated figures like this one.
- I wish I could clone Kirstin and send her out to each of you. I know not everyone is as lucky as we are to have an in-house photoshop expert. But with the tips I mentioned earlier about noticing inspiration in billboards, album art, you can find your own sources of inspiration if you just take the time to notice them.
- I’m lucky to work with Laura Solomon, who was voted one of Library Journal’s Movers & Shakers in 2010.She recently gave a class to me and the other HTML content editors of the State Library on writing better web content.
- Keep in mind this is a very Steamboat Willie approach to using PPT animations. I’m not an expert here
- Outline your thoughts and start with a blank canvas the next time you need to create a presentation. If you need more ideas,
