Helpful 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.

28
MORE 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.

29
Even 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.
