Don't kill others with PPT


              This is such a fun and meaningful vedio to watch! I just find them on Youtube by typing ket works "Killed by PPT". Power Point is like our presentation assistant that we students, teachers and other businessmen need a lot. It is a useful and easy asseccable tool that people would usually use to give a presentation. However, one well-prepared presentation could be ruined by a poor-quality Power Point. It could be either the slides doesn't make sense or makes too much sense.

               First of all, let's start with doesn't make sense. When the context lacks of its own structure, it could be very hard for your audiences to follow which result in they giving up in listening to you since they cannot figure out where should they be at the moment your mouth is moving like 10times pre second. Also, if what you are trying to say is not convinceable, others would be very likely pay little attention on your presentaton, although you are speaking super fluently. Since they have no willing to accept the message that you are trying to convey.Thirdly, try the best to list out these key point in bullet form. I would say your audiences won't remember all the words that typed anyway.

               On the other hand, too many charts, too many animation effects in the power point and a long time scale presentation will let the presentation do not make sense. Charts and tables making depends on one's specific knowledge field, which means others may not really get the idea with these terminologies. However, while you are trying to explain what's going among numerous charts, you are getting a decreasing attention. Additonally, a proper animation effect can cause audiences' interests. On the other hand, too much usage animation effect can result in listerners' visual fatigue. Time control is also a significant factor to a successful presentation. Professional speaking, a person can only give a full-play concentration for 35 minutes. Therefore, delete the information that has no necessarity.
               
                By looking at others' blogs, I find it is also a way of presentation. As for Ninfa Garay , she has a well-organized blog context with one picture for each post. Words statements combined with a related picture makes a better understanding form the readers. Furthermore, she uses a clean background and lists all her blog post in order. Each post has regular amount of paragraphs which impresses me a lot. In conclusion, a good presentation consists of a person's effect, also the power point quality.

  1. Hey I agree with you about the importance of creating an effect powerpoint presentation. That stat you give about a person can only give full attention for 35min is really interesting. It is too bad that all our lectures are longer than that!
    I like the idea of adding YouTube videos into your blog posts. Great idea.

  2. I really like your ideas about how to make an effective PowerPoint presentation. As you mentioned in your blog, I am one of those who will definitely fell asleep when someone trying to explain charts that I will never ever understand!
    The YouTube video you shared is very interesting, and I like it very much!
