Power Point

Things to do in a Power Point

1) Make things clear and easy to read

2) Use the Power Point as an outline not a word for word script

3) Make eye contact with your audience throughout your presentation

4) Print needs to be legible



Things not to do

1) Don't read directly off the projection screen, this requires you to turn your back to your audience, use the computer the notes part is there for a reason

2) Don't use obnoxious animations or sounds, if they are appropriate they can add a lot to a presentation

3) Don't use irrelevant pictures, they just distract people

4) Don't use illegible fonts, or really small font sizes

The three slide shows I liked the best were: Xin Ma's because it was very well crafted and clever, Bart Taylor's because it was concise and to the point, and Miti's because it was well crafted with a good use of irony.

Copyright

If I was searching for an image to post on a webpage the majority of the time I would have to cite it. The way I would cite it is: I would usually place an endnote at the bottom of the webpage with all the other sources. There are other ways I can do this too though; I can also place the citiation under the picture itself. There are also times that I do not have to cite it, if it is on a stock exchange website, then I would not have to site it because the pictures are already in the public domain. That is another time that citiation is not needed is when the copyright on something has expired and is in the public domain.
