Agenda Why use PowerPoint? Content vs. design F o n t  and  c o l o r ClipArt déjà vu Practice makes perfect! Try it yourself
Why Use PowerPoint? Capture your presentation—major concepts, organization, charts, graphs and more all in  one  place! Share your presentation with others on the Web or in easy PowerPoint handouts.
Content vs. design Write your presentation in outline view. Play with graphics, colors and fonts in slide view.
F o n t  and  c o l o r Two or three fonts are plenty. Pick three or four colors that look nice together. Use high contrast colors for background and text. Don’t forget about red/green color-blindness.
ClipArt déjà vu Be a ClipArt minimalist. Your audience has seen them all. Be creative; make your own!
Practice makes perfect! Practice  where  you preach so you can fix problems  before  you present. Rehearse your timings. Show it to a friend before you make your debut.
Try It Yourself Download the PowerPoint Overview packet at  http://www.lib.umd.edu/groups/learning/handouts/powerpoint101.pdf  and follow the directions to create your own PowerPoint presentation.
