27Helpful Hints
- Choose dark backgrounds for the presentations you
plan to project to an audience. - Use effects (sounds, animations) sparingly --
screeching brakes and a few others can really
get on your nerves as well as your teachers. - Limit text to 6 - 8 lines per slide.
- Limit fonts to 32 - 28 point -- dont go smaller
as its too hard to read.
28MORE HINTS...
- You just have to play around with the program to
find the effect you really want. - Anything can be changed if you dont like it.
- Work on getting your text down and how you want
to present it first. Then add the extras.
29Even More Hints.
- Limit your students to a few pictures sounds
because they may run out of space. - If saving pictures save as JPEG, GIF, or
BITMAP. - When printing - check out your options first.
- Not all music and sounds will work with
PowerPoint - wav files work the best.
