Top Five Presentation Tips

I decided to use Google Presentation since no one else choose this free service. Google Presentation is part of the Google Apps suite. I am a Google Certified Teacher and have set up teachers in my district with Google accounts. Our district is looking at using Google Apps for Education as a solution for our online needs. Google Presentation is not as versatile as PowerPoint or Keynote (my preferred paid presentation software) but it does have a couple of features that are unique. Within Google presentation you can collaborate on a slide show. This feature has been valuable for teachers and students in my district. You can also take instant messages from presentees during your presentation. These messages pop up along side the presentation. I think this is the next step for presentations. This interactive component has already been done in a couple of presentations I attended. It enables questions to be asked in real time as well as information added to the presentation. Someone can participate in the presentation remotely. I included multimedia in my presentation tips. I think this should include interactivity in the future. People should be able to collaborate or participate in your presentation. This can be done with Google Presentation, Twitter, Poll Everywhere or Wiffiti.

Top Five Presentation Tips project

Using a free online presentation app of your choice create a powerful and informative presentation which discusses the finer points of effective presentations. Include your Top Five Tips for better presentations. Please refer to the links posted and on the class Blackboard site. The 1 Hour PowerPoint podcast has a lot of useful resources as well as a supplemental website for further research. At the completion of this task, export your presentation and upload it to slideshare.net. Please contact me ASAP if you have any questions or issues with this project.
