7 Tips to Make a Good High School (or non high  school) PowerPoint Presentation
What is wrong with this slide? (and this entire slide in general)
No one learns boring things.
How do we repair broken presentations
1. Use Pictures Variable ratio: an unpredictable number or responses for each event
The brain loves pictures
Would students rather see this
or...this...
SHARK!!!
Which one will you remember?
Chapter 7 Stuff that is just a repeat of text from the book, but it is brighter and bigger so it is better. Oh, and every one of the following 31 slides will be formatted like this. Billy Bob Boring Publishers New York and London Copyright 1999 2. Make it yourself
If you dont... ...they will put in the same effort in paying attention as you did making it
3. Use the audience ,[object Object],Only I know when this PowerPoint will end.
4. To Keep Attention, put in the Unexpected  ,[object Object]
Fixed Interval  – Events happening after a set amount of time. 5. Use familiar items
6. Use comparisons on the same slide A delta is a landform that is created at the mouth of a river where that river flows into an ocean, sea, estuary, lake reservoir, flat arid area, or another river. They are  large and slow  moving bodies of water. Delta waves are  large and slow  waves that indicate deep sleep.
7. Always use pictures and words on a slide. Memory is reinforced through rehearsal. Repetition of physical movements or facts increase our ability to recall information.
You have about 10 seconds to grasp your audience... make the most of it
