Power Point Presentations

The Microsoft Training website has tutorials on every aspect of Power Point. Very useful for the beginner.

On the website with the Top Ten Slide Tips it was interesting to find out that templates should not be used. Instead, something more original that fits the presentation should be used but it should stay professional.

The website explaining about how to not make a bad presentation one of the rules stated that no more than six words on a slide. Another thiing that is supposed to be done during power points, which makes the presentations more boring, are the transitions have to be basic- no spins or fades.

The YouTube tutorial video explains the basic processes of power point including inserting a picture. It teaches how to introduce a picture into the slide in a customized way like with a bounce.


My tip is to try to relax and be comfortable because in all reality nobody will really know if you mess up or not. If you are trying your best then that is all that counts.

The five guidelines I think are important are
1. Don't read off the slides
2. Don't have a ton of word
3. Don't say "ummm..." a lot
4. Know what you are talking about
5. Make it seem interesting
