How Can I Make My PowerPoint Presentations Amazing?

How Can I Make My PowerPoint Presentations Amazing? | SteveB's Social Learning Scoop | Scoop.it

"Dear Lifehacker, I have been tasked to make a slideshow for an event at work. I don’t want to make a generic PowerPoint with just boring text or pictures. What are some ways I can enhance the slideshow so it looks impressive and knocks the socks off my audience?"

Sure Paul, we all know Prezi, and it has been scooped on this site many times but PowerPoint is useful on the occasions when Prezi is not.
Paul Lawley-Jones's comment, May 18, 10:24 PM
"...we all know Prezi..." - Do we? "...PowerPoint is useful on the occasions when Prezi is not." - And vice versa. However, my original question still applies: What about a video slideshow? What about Google's web presentation templates (https://code.google.com/p/io-2012-slides/)? What about Google Docs? SlideRocket? Zoho Show? LibreOffice Impress? Etc.

How 21st Century Thinking Is Just Different

Via Ana Cristina Pratas
Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, May 18, 1:21 AM

In an era dominated by constant information and the desire to be social, should the tone of thinking for students be different?


This is the world of Google.


In this world full of information abundance, our minds are constantly challenged to react to data, and often in a way that doesn’t just observe, but interprets. Subsequently, we unknowingly “spin” everything to avoid cognitive dissonance.

As a result, the tone of thinking can end up uncertain or whimsical, timid or arrogant, sycophant or idolizing–and so, devoid of connections and interdependence. The internet and social media are designed to connect, and with brilliant efficiency they do indeed connect—words and phrases, images and video, color and light, but not always to the net effect they might.


The nature of social media rests on identity as much as anything else—forcing subjectivity on everything through likes, retweets, shares, and pins. Instead, we might consider constant reflection guided by important questions as a new way to learn in the presence of information abundance.

But this takes new habits.
