Speaking is always better than reading. A glance should be all you need to see to speak about their content.
42During presentationDo not underestimate the energy of the live performanceEnergize your audience with your energyMake eye contact
Single out a particular person in the audience who appears to be interested in what you are saying. Look directly at him or her. Then move on to another person, then another. Their interest will energize you. http://www.d.umn.edu/~jgallian/goodPPtalk.pdf
43Non verbal communicationPauses!!!What you do with your hands?use the motions of your hands and arms to support the content of our speechDO not stand stillMove???If you dont have a remote, keep a pen, or pencil in your hands (be careful, though, not to break them). Occasionally move toward the screen. Occasionally move toward the audience. Occasionally move from one side of the screen to the other.
