Reading

Presentations should be very clear, concise and consistent.

CLEAR

Your audience should be able to read the text that you have placed on each slide. You should use simple fonts instead of fancy fonts that can distract the reader. All text must be visible and not covered by images or charts.

CONCISE

Only include a summary of the information required on each slide. The slides should show lists, images, charts and diagrams. The slide should not be full of a big block of text. When you carry out a presentation to an audience you should know your material. A good presenter will use lists as a guide for their talk instead of simply reading from the screen.

CONSISTENT

The whole slideshow should have a corporate feel to it. Each slide in the show should have the same:

• Font Styles
• Font Sizes (Headings / Text)
• Colours (Headings / Text)
• Transitions
• Animations
• Backgrounds

Choose a topic from the list below and create a simple presentation on it. Make sure that you include: Slide Transitions, Animations, Bullet Lists, Number Lists, Images, Clip-arts, Correct Slide Layouts and save the final product as a PowerPoint Show.

TOPIC LIST:

• Converting from Binary to Decimal
• Using loops in Python
• The CPU
• Network Topologies
• Responsible Use of Social Media

The key part of this outcome is making sure that students can actually use the basics of presentation software effectively.

Students could get feedback from their peers if they have attempted the Embed activity. This would help to check if their slideshows are effective.
