I just sat through another one of those loooonnnggg, droning presentations... you know, PowerPoint, no pictures, LOTS of text, LOTS of bullets, did I say no pictures?
It's in that spirit that I thought to share the online presentation above. It's from Karl Kapp. Karl is a leading personality in the learning industry. The information in it isn't specific to an industry, rather, it's geared for presenters in general.
Some of the graphics are a little heavy on clipart, but don't take that as evidence of the preferred media. Rather, they function more as quickly produced placeholders to communicate the features that could make your presentation speak more about concepts you want to convey in favor of showing text that tend to bore.
I'm especially partial to the following slides because they address my personal pet peeves about presentations I've seen: 4 & 5, 6 & 7, 8 & 9, 14-16.
Now, when you're done with the serious stuff above, here's a little levity below. It's still on the topic of how NOT to use PowerPoint in your presentations. It might even be good as an ice breaker in your next presentation.
