Some Tips for PowerPoint Presentations
Like anything else using PowerPoint to make a presentation takes practice. Here are a few basic
tips to help you.
Research your topic and organize your resources first.
Create your objectives. What do you want your audience to learn from your presentation? Refer
to

Remember how your teacher in elementary/even high school used to make you do an outline of
a major writing assignment? An outline grounds you. So once you have your objectives write a
basic outline of what you want to present.
Your presentation should last about 15 – 20 minutes. Generally you spend about 1 minute on a
slide so you should have a total of a minimum of 15 slides.
Use creativity to add graphics. You can use the internet to find them. I like Google Images for
this purpose but I am sure there are many other resources available. When you find a good one
be sure to share it with us!
While it is wonderful to add graphics and utilize a design template for your presentation
remember to make sure it fits with your subject material and that it does not interfere with the
content on your slides.
Keep your slides simple and concise. Do not put a lot of text on one slide but rather put the
major points and add the content with your audio.
Try to use uniform font sizes throughout the presentation. Don't have lettering that is too small
to read.
