Tips for More Effective Presentations

• Use 2 or 3 Colors, but don’t overdo it.

• Use Simple Animation for Text/picture Entry

• Do not put too much information on a slide

• Link all animations for 1 topic together & slow it down

• Slow Animation - so the slowest reader can finish.

•List after List is boring!!!!!
