How does Animation affect your Presentation?

• To see the effect of animation, Im going to step
  thought these slides individually, without
  animation, by clicking on the thumbnails for each
  slide.
• Next, Ill show these same slides as an automated
  slide show.
• Finally, Ill go back and show you how I set this
  up.

Animation and The Law of Unintended Consequences

• Lets look at the following three slides
• The first slide display was before animation
• The next slide shows my first attempt at
  animation. Kind of cramped, though.
• The next slide shows the effect of animation
  AFTER reducing the font size from 24 to 18 and
  then adjusting the sizing outline box! Which is
  easier to read?

Ok, You now realize that PowerPoint may be
useful.But what your really want to know
isHow can I learn how to use PowerPoint?

• Ive sat through many PowerPoint (PPT)
  Presentations and have observed many of my
  students use PPT displays.
• Ive sat through two or three hours of training
  during the past seven years, yet this is my very
  first attempt at creating a PowerPoint
  presentation! Why not sooner?
• The previous training never took because no one
  explain why I was doing something. Nor did I even
  have a record.
• So, this presentation will focus on how I finally
  learned to use PPT, and if I can learn
  essentially from scratch, so can you.

can I learn how to use PowerPoint?

• Ive sat through many PowerPoint (PPT)
  Presentations and have observed many of my

• Ive had a few hours of training at various times
  during the past seven years.
• Yet, this is my very first attempt at creating a
  PowerPoint presentation! Why not sooner?
• The previous training never took because no one
  explain why I was doing something. Nor did I even
  have a record.

OK, Now lets see these first 10 slides as an
Automated slide show.

• To set up and run a prepared slide show, we move
  the cursor to the second line on the top and
  click on Slide Show,
• and then click on View Show like so

12
Ultimately

• Appearance is a matter of taste
• and experimentation.
• PowerPoint is a very powerful program.
• You can get respectable presentations with only a
  little bit of effort, or
• You can experiment and really produce a really
  impressive slide show!

13
This is all that we have planned for in this
presentation.

• Effective Presentations require a lot of planning
  in advance, called storyboarding, but we werent
  sure how far we would get with this initial
  presentation to our club.
• I did not really show you how to do the editing
  of fonts PowerPoint has its own way of
  selecting fonts - but you can probably figure
  this out your own. Nor did I show you how
  PowerPoint uses its clipboard. It, too, is
  different.
• Now the question is, where do we go from here?

14
Options

• If we have time now, and enough laptops with
  PowerPoint installed, you can work in small
  groups while Judith and I circulate around from
  one group to another, OR we can have volunteers
  come up to the video display machine. OR we can
  demonstrate some other editing features.
• Once you have had a chance to experiment and
  learn on your own, let us know whether you would
  like one or more additional presentations on
  PowerPoint. If so, when, as well as what you
  would like to see covered.
• Thank you.
