Tips for Presentations

App Recommendations

• Haiku Desk
• PowerPoint
• Google Slides
• Prezi (with caution…)

General Advice

• Don’t type what you are going to say. The slide deck should supplement your presentation.
• Limit the amount of text on each slide.
• Use contrasting colors and large text (the slide deck should be easy to read in a classroom environment)
• Don't get too fancy with all the features (e.g., transitions and effects). A clean and simple slide deck is all you need.
• Use a standard style throughout. Think of how online newspapers or articles have the same font for headers, subtitles, and captions throughout.
  • Text size, font, italics, bold, etc. Every slide should follow same style
• Integrating Media: use your own or make sure they are public domain or Creative Commons licensed
