Visual Aids
Using Visual Aids (e.g. PowerPoint)
highlight key points –using bullet points
display images or diagrams (if possible)
Bullet points can often be more effective, your audience will be able to concentrate on what you are saying rather than reading the slide
4-5 bullet points are an acceptable amount per slide –keep it simple
Font size should be large enough to be legible to be seen from all parts of the room (e.g. 22 - 28 for the text and 34-40 for titles.)
*In this case, you can use the box bellow and add your notes
Tips for effective PowerPoint presentation
Keep focused
Keep it brief, simple and clear (e.g. No more than 6 lines per slide )
Keep it visual
Keep your audience in mind
Be consistent
