The key to a good presentation is to have very clear teaching/learning points. Many people start by transcribing their lecture content into slides. Don’t be one of them. The first step is not putting together the slides. Instead, start thinking about (or writing is even better) a storyboard. Create a STORY (click HERE). Once you know exactly what you want to talk about, start working on slides.
For the actual presentation, there are a few rules:
Aim for 18 minutes (MAX 20 minutes)
Use the correct application: Google Slides.
Slides should enhance the audience’s ability to understand the concepts
The slides are not a handout containing information so that you can remember what you have to say. Keep them simple, use full-sized pictures. Click HERE for some databases.
Please provide slides ahead of time for review.
Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.
