Make it clear
• Use keywords and phrases – not sentences
o Use slides to guide your presentation not give
it
• Keep plenty of “white space” on your slides
• Keep your slide design and animation
simple
• After your last slide, add a “Credits”
slide to cite your sources
Make it clear
• Make the font large enough to read.
•
12 point font
•
20 point font
• 36 point font
• 44 point font
Make it clear
• Use color wisely
For many pupils
a pastel coloured
background makes
the text much
easier to read…
…than the same
text on a plain
White background.
It reduces glare.
Make it clear
• Be aware of colour blind pupils… avoid
certain combinations.
• Ex: Red/Green
Avoid this
And this
Can you read it?
• Test out your presentation
• Go to the back of your classroom
and see if you can read it
• Don’t just assume it can be read.
• There is a great deal more you can
do in PowerPoint!
o Experiment
with the toolbar buttons
and see what happens
