Presentation Tips

Your title slide may have a striking image (but not overly/visually busy); remember to include: Your Name > Topic > Name of Class > Class Period > Date.
Be creative in grabbing and maintaining attention. Think outside the box.
Use bullet points, not sentences.
Aim for just one concept or phrase on a slide.
Images

You do not need to have an image on every slide.
If you do include an image, aim for one powerful image, that could be accompanied by minimal text or no text at all.
Unless you are using a photo image as a background or image in the PPT, try to avoid too much clip art.
Use copyright friendly images (Creative Commons licensed) using the photo links from other OHS library pages (Useful Websites and/or Mrs. McNally's LiveBinders). You may search for images conceptually or literally; we suggest using a combintation of the two.

Be sure to include the source of your image in the lower corner of your slide (whichever side is best). You may provide a full citation or give credit by statingt:
This image is used under a CC license from [URL that links back to the image].

Be sure to include a "Bibliography"as your very last slide. You can generate a proper MLA or APA formatted list to cite your sources using NoodleTools.
When using quotes, look for the nugget within the quote. Shorten it as much as possible and discover its essence. Always, give proper credit.
The slides are for the audience; tell the story of your content and your topic through images. Talk off the PowerPoint (PPT). Do not read from your PPT.
