A PowerPoint presentation should only
be shown on a large computer screen to a small
audience, or with a data projector and large screen to a
large audience. How to use PowerPoint as a presentation tool:
- First write the contents of the talk
- Focus on the content of the talk, and then create a
presentation to enhance the meaning of that content.
- Limit the presentation to approximately 12 slides as more is too long for the
average viewer.
- Create speaker notes for the speaker.
- Practise giving the talk using the speaker notes and synchronising the talk with
the mouse control.
- Know the content so that the speaker can talk about the key
words/illustrations on the screen while looking at the audience.
- Check the size of the font (text), with regard to
the size of the venue.
- Prepare handouts for the audience, if required.
- Check that the sound, if used, works on the equipment to be used.
- Check the lighting to be used in the venue, and how the screen can be seen.
- Look at the audience and share the content of the presentation with
them.
Give this assessment rubric for oral presentations
to your learners before they use PowerPoint to present a final presentation. Use the
rubric to assess their presentation. |
