Visual Design: Setting Your Slides Up For Success

Visual Design: Setting Your Slides Up For Success | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

...The most basic lesson we learn first in my visual design class is that slides are not documents.  In order to create slides that use the Keynote or PowerPoint medium as it was intended to be used – for a visual purpose – we must set up our slides for success.

Baiba Svenca's insight:

The article gives tips how to design your slides so that they are SUCCESS, not FAILURE. You have to remember that slides are not documents and think in a different way when designing them.

11 Mind Mapping Apps for the iPad

11 Mind Mapping Apps for the iPad | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version.

Baiba Svenca's insight:

Those who own and use iPad should read this comprehensive guide to 11 mind mapping apps. There is a short summary and an in-depth review of each application. Most apps are free to download.

Lee Hall's curator insight, May 16, 2:16 PM

Research shows that mind maps (graphic organizers) are effective during all stages of learning. You can use them as an introduction to a unit, during the unit for continued note taking, or at the conclusion as a formative assessment to make sure your students truly understand the material.

AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight, May 17, 7:19 AM

I use mind mapping all the time and look definitely look into these apps.

SCROLLSHOW for students and educators

SCROLLSHOW for students and educators | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Educators today are looking for new and innovative ways to engage their students, their colleagues, and themselves. Our society roles and how we communicate with one another has changed. Standards and expectations have changed. Presentation is everything and I feel Scrollshow has hit their mark and raised up to set a new bar!
An educator not only has to express ideas and communicate a clear message to their audience, but also help students build the same skills and abilities to prepare them for a bright and successful future. Students are asked to share and prove their new learning through a range of ways. Communication really is key to engaging an audience.

Stampsy is an interesting graphic tool currently for the iPad. It has a few necessry tools such as Headline, Text, Images, Colour Palette, Various Fonts, and best of all it is limited to 10 pages. If Powerpoints were limited to 10 pages I wonder how much real information would be lost? No doubt we'd see the important information. Check it out.
