Rules for Creating Workshop Power Point Presentations Helen Wilson, MSN, RN
Have a Game Plan • Create a one-page outline of topics to be discussed. • Be sure to check for the logical order of your topics. • Review your outline for introduction, content, summary, and crop non-essential information.
Know How Much Time You Have • Be sure to allow time for questions & answers. • Be sure to add a few minutes as most presentations to an audience take longer than when practiced. • Be respectful to those to follow you and stick to the allotted time.
Develop Your Text • Incorporate visual aids if appropriate. • Whenever possible, try to incorporate visual aids that may help in facilitating the points of the presentation or illustrate a new concept for the group.
Text on Slides • Keep the slides simple. • Use a common font that is large enough to read from a distance. • Place topic at the top of each slide.
Text on Slides Continued • A good rule to remember is no more than 7 lines of type on any given slide, even if you must use several slides to complete a topic. • Check your spelling over and over – enlist the help of a friend or coworker for editing.
Color and Graphics • Avoid too much Color. • Keep slides simple and uncluttered. • Be careful of background color and/or graphics ~ they may make text difficult to read.
Say it First…Then Say it Last • Take advantage of the fact that people remember best what they hear first and last. • Tell them what you want them to know twice – once when you start and once when you finish the presentation.
Final Words • Answer questions • Say thank you
