Presentation Skills

2. List of Presentation Tools
1. Microsoft PowerPoint
Advantages for Design
Quick and easy: the basic features are easy to
master and can make you appear to be
organized, even if you are not
Simple bullet points: it can reduce complicated
messages to simple points. Bullets points are
good basis for presentation and remind the
speaker of main points and the organization of
the message.

3. Easy to create colorful, attractive design: using
the standard templates and themes, you can
create something visually appealing, even if you
do not have knowledge of basic graphic design
principles.
Easy to modify: when compared to other visual
aids such as charts, posters, or objects, it is easy
to modify.
Easily re-order presentation: with a simple drag
and drop using key stokes, you can move slides to
re-order the presentation.

4. Advantages for Delivery
Audience size: PowerPoint slides are generally easier
to see by a large audience than other visual aids.
Easy to present: you can easily advance slides in the
presentation one after another with a simple key
stroke while still maintaining eye contact with the
audience.
No need for Handouts: they look good visually and
can be easily read if you a projector and screen that is
large enough to the entire room.

5. Disadvantages for Design
Design power pointless: gives the illusion and
coherence, when in fact there is really not much
substance or connection between the different points
on the slides.
PowerPoint excess: some speakers create
presentations so they have slides to present rather
than outlining, organizing and focusing the message.
Replaces planning and preparation: PowerPoint is
convenient prop for poor speakers, as it can reduce
complicated messages to simple bullet points and
elevates style over substance.

6. Oversimplification of the topic: the linear of
PowerPoint forces the presenter to reduce complex
subjects to a set of bullet items that are too weak to
support decision-making or show the complexity of
an issue.
Feature abundance: while the basic features are easy
to use and apply, a speaker can get carried away and
try to use all features at once rather than simply
supporting a message. Too many flying letters,
animations, and sound effects without seeing much
original thought or analysis can be a real issue. In
many cases, the medium shoves the message aside.

7. Disadvantages for Delivery
Basic equipment required: you will need to have a
computer and projection equipment in place to
display the slides to the audience.
Focus on medium, not message: too many people
forget that they are making a presentation first and
that PowerPoint is just a tool.

8. 2. Prezi
is a great presentation tool for spicing up the
mundane PowerPoint that you’ve been using
for the past 10 years. It allows for new kinds of
visualizations and opportunities to link
imagery to motion, which in turn creates a
deeper understanding and retention duration.

9. Advantages:
1. Breaks the Mold
Prezi is not your typical slide-based
presentation tool. You start with a blank canvas
and can add and manipulate content anywhere
on the page. There is no such thing as a linear,
slide-by-slide display method (unless you design
it that way, of course). Break the mold and
present in unique ways. It even lets you import
your existing PowerPoint presentations for
conversion!

10. 2. It’s Free and Web-Based
Prezi is completely free. Compared to
PowerPoint, which is both a paid application
and not accessible everywhere, Prezi provides
access from any web-enabled computer. This is
great for students who may not have the Office
suite on their home computers. Students and
staff can easily create Free accounts on Prezi
using their Facebook accounts as well.

11. 3. Link Text and Images to Movement
One of my favorite aspects of Prezi (assuming it is
used correctly) is the ability to have movement
actually become part of the presentation. For
instance, if you are talking about ‘Imagery,’ you can
have Prezi zoom in (past the word Imagery) and
display examples of the imagery you are
discussing. The movement relates to the terms and
examples, creating a visual link for the students.

12. 4. Appropriate for All Ages
The web-based software is designed with all ages in
mind. The simple icon-based design tools ensure
that any age group will be successful in creating
and presenting new creations. I have always been a
proponent of teaching young kids how to use new
technology – and Prezi certainly makes that easier
with their simple design interface.

13. 5. Shows Students You’re “Up-to-date” with Technology
It sounds so simple (and somewhat deflating) but
your students really do pay attention to the
teaching tools you use. By staying current with new
technology, more often than not your students will
appreciate the change of pace from the tools they
are seeing used in all their other classes (and what
they’ve seen for the past few years of their
schooling). Take a chance and try something new –
if it fails miserably (which it won’t) they will
appreciate you for trying something that breaks the
mold.

14. Disadvantages:
1. Can Cause Motion Sickness
This is totally avoidable if you know what you’re
doing when designing your presentation, though.
Consider your transitions and make sure that you
aren’t constantly moving from one corner of the
presentation board to the other (thus generating
expansive fly-overs). Making simple moves from one
screen area to the next will eliminate the nauseating
effects of cross-screen movement

15. 2. More of a Learning Curve
As with anything new, there is a learning curve and
in the event that you may not have the time to learn
the tool yourself and then teach it to your students,
you may want to pass on Prezi. In this situation, you
could easily include Prezi as an option among
presentation tools. This gives students the option to
teach themselves but does not require them to
learn something new to complete their assignment.

16. 3. Web-Based
If you have limited wireless internet access, or if
your internet connection at your building is
unreliable, a web-based tool may become more of a
hassle than its worth. One nice thing that Prezi
allows is exporting of your completed presentation,
making it viewable offline. This is recommended for
anyone relying on the Prezi for class or a
presentation as it can be used as a backup should
your internet fail.

17. 3. Apple Keynote

18. 4. Google Slides
Advantages:
Compatibility in Google Presentations: Google
Presentation is much more compatible than
PowerPoint. Users can import and export graphics,
text formats, PDFs and even PowerPoint
presentations without a hassle. They can also
publish their creations to the Internet quickly and
easily. PowerPoints meager compatibility options
pale in comparison.

19. Cloud Based Presentation Creation: Google
Presentation is supported by the cloud. This means
that several different colleagues can access and
modify a presentation as it is being formulated. As
long as you are using an internet connected device,
you'll have access to your team's projects on Google
Presentation. This includes iPhones, iPads and other
mobile devices. It's a significant advantage, as you'll
never have to worry about purchasing software
again. Cloud support also allows employees and
students to make last minute adjustments while they
are on their way to a meeting or other event.

21. Tips in Creating an Effective Presentation
1. Minimize. Keep slide counts to a minimum to maintain
a clear message and to keep the audience attentive.
Remember that the presentation is just a visual aid. Most
information should still come the reporter.
2. Clarity. Avoid being fancy by using a font style that is
easy to read. Make sure that is also big enough to be read
by the audience. Once you start making your
presentation, consider how big the screen is during your
report.

22. Tip: a font size is about an inch (depends on the screen
size). A none – inch letter is readable 10 feet away; a
two – inch letter is readable 20 feet away.
3. Simplicity. Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize
the information on the screen to have your audience
focus on what the speaker is saying than on reading the
slide. Limit the content to six lines and seven words per
line.
4. Visuals. Use graphics to help in your presentation but
not too many to distract the audience. In addition,
instead of using a table of data, use charts and graphs.

23. 5. Consistency. Make your design uniform. Avoid having
different font styles and backgrounds.
6. Contrast. Use light font on dark background or vice
versa. This is done so that it is easier to read. In most
instances, it is easier to read on screen if the background
is dark. This is due to the brightness of the screen.
