Power Point

PowerPoint presentation is a very effective way to present your ideas, if you know how to use it well. It's amazing how often people just gets up in front of the class and just read their slides. Anyone can do that, the presenters should prepare a lot before their presentation, in order to do it well and fluent, so it would get the listener's attention. Handing out papers would distract the listeners too because they would concentrate on the papers that you handed out, not your presentation. The most crucial part, people should know that they should not use clip arts and sound effects that are available in Power Points database because they are really annoying for most of the people.

Five important guidelines for a good PowerPoint Presentation:
-The presenter should not read directly from the slides, any one can do that
-The main reason for presentations are showing your emotion by your body language to the audience, which makes it easier for them to understand your point of view.
-Try to have an interesting start to your presentation so you would get people's attention
-Do not write too much stuff on a single slide, more than the reader can read and always support it with visual elements, such as pictures and graphs
-Cue cards are crucial
