Creating and Using
PowerPoint as a Visual Aid
(as opposed to as your notes)
|
| At some point we've all had to sit through a boring
presentation - you know the one with one PowerPoint slide with bullet
sentences after the other. The really scary part is that some of us have
given those presentations! Your job as the presenter or the facilitator of
training or in whatever situation you use PowerPoint, is to convey the
vitally important information so that people will retain it. PowerPoint
software is screenshow visual aid software - not speaker notes software!
Writing all the things you are going to say in PowerPoint and then showing
it to the people listening is less than useful for them.
By special request, the PDF file to the right is the workbook from a
conference session. We worked on three crucial things:
| 1. |
Other effective ways to make and use notes
to deliver your presentation or training |
 |
| 2. |
The actual step by step methods within
PowerPoint software to create a highly interactive visual aid to add to
and help them retain what you’re saying |
| 3. |
Using your PowerPoint
screenshow with the other visual aids and your words, face, body and
tone of voice to get the message across and create retention |
