PowerPoint Mistakes
  • People often see PowerPoint as a crutch used to
    help remember a speech. The tendency in such
    cases is to put so much text on each slide that
    the presenter must stare at the screen, and not
    his/her audience. Its also difficult for the
    audience to listen to the speaker and read a
    slide simultaneously. I mean, this slide could
    outline the mating habits of chimpanzees and
    youd never know it by the time you reached
    that point, the slide would be gone. Also, could
    you tell from the previous slide that I like
    koalas, because I really do like them. Theyre
    neat.
