Why use PowerPoint?
The mediator’s perspective:
It’s your only opportunity to address and

sometimes a picture

No animation
Never turn your back on your audience
Go to black slide if no slide related to point you are making
Don’t exaggerate or overstate
You do not need a slide for every point you are making
Slides should be consistent with color, font, format, etc…
Always arrive early to test equipment
