Not Just Bullet PointsHow many times have you seen this

“theme”?

A list of bullet points Illustrating a talk or a lecture With a pre-designed “theme” Sometimes with snazzy (or wrongly sequenced) animations As well as (unnecessary & annoying) clip

art.

This is how you are used to PowerPoint

This was created by turning the background black and inserting a

white shape.

You can then write on the white shape and in the screen or on a

projector it will appear to be an oval slide.

An alternative idea

is to use simple boxes

On a plain back background.

Page 7: Not Just Bullet Points

If you add simple “appear” & “disappear”

animationsYou can achieve an interesting effect

Like this.

So that only one thing appears at a time

Just a bit more interesting

Than bullet points

PowerPoint is a useful instructional tool.

It can also be boring.

Content should come from learners and their interactions with you.

PowerPoint works best with minimum content.

Some other things you might like to try.

added.

Embed videos into presentations to save

you having to hyperlink.

Use the hyperlink function to flick

between slides in a flexible order.

If you want to make changes to how all slides look, use the

“Master View”
