- 3. Consistency Being consistent is one of the most effective ways to appeal to your students It is easier for people to follow, instead of constantly re-examining your graphics they are really paying attention Most presentations should have a uniform theme, whether your background is white or pattern stick to it!
- 4. Of course the way you deliver your information in the classroom will matter! Students are listening to you, maybe more than you think. Be enthusiastic!! Be excited! Deliver it!
- 5. Lets be honest, your students would much rather listen to you than try to absorb all the text your putting on a screen! They are really only going to read a few key words they see and then move on, are you really reading all I am typing here if I am freely giving the information that goes along with the slide in person? Less is more
- 6. Color Matters accounts for more than 85% more retention! It also increases the willingness to read by 80%! Make it fun and relevant for your age group!
- 7. Really?! Now your saying to yourself how mediocre this might have been... there is a reason, this powerpoint was made to start a classroom conversation, I left lots of room to discuss and think. There are so many ways to enjoy using technology in your classroom! Good Luck!
