10 PowerPoint Tips to Make Your Presentations More Effective

10 PowerPoint Tips to Make Your Presentations More Effective | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
The design of your PowerPoint presentation is often underestimated. Everyone knows the saying, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, however in PowerPoint-land it seems to be quite the contrary. ‘A thousand words are worth a picture’ seems a more fitting slogan. Slides are filled to the brim with text, which the presenter literally reads out loud. This is the reason why PowerPoint has a dusty and static image. A missed opportunity!

10 Ways to Retain More of What You Learn - InformED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Although reading something once or twice and then remembering it for life would be ideal, the reality is that much of what we learn goes in one ear and out the other. In fact, research shows that within just one hour, if nothing is done with new information, most people will have forgotten about 50% of what they learned. After 24 hours, this will be 70%, and if a week passes without that information being used, up to 90% of it could be lost.

Long ago, when I started out as an ELA teacher, I wasn't aware of the challenges that I were to face as a new teacher. New at school, I started with high hopes in my mind; and quickly filled up my book-of-incidents. 


As I reflect over years, I wish I had known a few things, which, unfortunately, caused me a lot of hardship, and had to learn through experiences. I have bags filled with them. 


Here I list a few of my tips and experiences, again with high hopes that I could be resourceful to new teachers.
