“The use of the PowerPoint presentation has been a disaster. It should be ditched.”

– John Sweller

Slide #25

Crutch

• It’s not a teleprompter

• It’s not a substitute for handouts

• It’s not a thought organizer– PowerPoint has been accused of oversimplifying

complex issues

– PowerPoint has been accused of promoting lazy thinking (The thought that everything can be reduced to a couple of bullets)

• It can stifle conversation with the audience

• It turns poor presenters into robotsSlide #26

Blogs are like Sharks

A shark must keep moving or die

A blog must be regularly updated or it too

will die

How often should you update your Blog?

Some successful blogs are updated once

a week, others several times a day.

The key is to be consistent.

A Wise Person:

Is made and not born

Slide #70

A Wise Person Knows…

• When and how to make “the exception to every rule.”

• When and how to improvise. Wisdom is “moral Jazz.”

• How to choose among virtues or rules when they conflict.

• Finally, a wise person uses these moral skills in pursuit of the right aims, to serve and not to manipulate.

Use of a standard for PowerPoint™

Presentations for TV

PowerPoint on TV: The bad

• TV Resolution and ComputerResolutions are different

– Computer Resolutions are much better

• The conversion from PowerPoint to TV is not very tolerant of some colors


• Stay away from the edges

– The conversion process might ‘clip’ about .75 inch from all sides

– A good open border makes a slide appear cleaner


• Small Fonts are Hard To Read

– Use at least a 24 point font for the header

– Don’t use anything smaller than an 18 point font for other text


• A Big Block of Text is Hard To Read

In fact, researchers have found that with most slides being on the screen for only about 20 seconds, the reader is forced to look at the start of the sentence and jump to the end or read it once and want to read it again. People read at different rates and if you are talking and there is a screen full of text, they will start reading and either tune you out or read along or just ignore you. Tell them what you want to say and if you need a note to help, write it down somewhere. It all starts to look like a big block of stuff that is hard to read and then is difficult to convey. Is this not getting harder and harder to read and it is not at the smallest size. This is 19 point type. It just is confusing and messy. And to think, you know the concept from the header: A big block of text is hard to read.


• Some colors are bad for TV

– Avoid pure RED

• It bleeds on TV

• Some TVs will make a buzzing sound

– Use a Brick RED if you need a red color

PowerPoint on TV: The Good

• This background is better

• Short bullets are better

– Don’t read from the slides

• Spread text out over several slides

The outer box is the limit of visible area for many TVs

The Inner box is the TV Safe Area. It is best to stay in this area.


• A well-thought out presentation will effectively convey your message


• Short bullets are better

– Don’t read from the slides

• Spread text out over several slides

This is a second option

• Don’t use blocks of text

– It is very ineffective

• Punctuation is not needed

– If you need it regularly, your bullets are too long

– Use only when necessary

– Be consistent
