Week 7 

In week 7 we learned how to create a power point presentation that would be most effective in conveying the information we wanted to convey to our targeted audience. When you are creating a power point there are a few helpful tips I have found that will insure you have produced a power point that will be most useful to your targeted audience.

Tip 1: Keep it Simple. When creating a power point you want to make sure you only add the most important information. Giving to much information can leave your audience lost and as a result uninterested in your presentation.

Tip 2: Make sure you are mindful of your slide structure. When making a power point presentation make sure you that it is easy for your audience to follow. Be sure to list the title at the top and have all text from top to bottom.

Tip 3: Avoid fancy fonts. Use fonts that are easy to read. Avoid fancy fonts as this will be difficult for some readers to view if they are sitting far away from the screen that the power point is displayed on.

Tip 4: Use Visual Aids. Using visual aids such as graphs, charts, and pictures are a great toll to utilize in efforts to keep your audiences attention. However you must not use them in excess as this could distract your audience for the information you are trying to deliver.

Tip 5: Make sure that your power point can run on any computer. This I must say is the most important tip. When creating your power point you want to be sure that you are using the most up to date software to insure that anyone that needs to view your power point can do so with ease.
