Power Plays in PowerPoint

Technology has become an essential in terms of contemporary communication, i.e. this blog. However, in order to present information in a...presentation format...the program PowerPoint is often used.

To be a successful PowerPoint player:

1. Don't use the cheesy images you find in clip art...they aren't gouda.
2. Don't be wordy; the slides are a guide, not a script. Verbatim readers are boring and ANNOYING.
3. Aesthetics are key, choose an appropriate font that's legible.
4. Themes can be distracting and dull or enhance the ideas of the presentation (do that...)
5. Take time to practice, you'll be well-versed in the flow of your slideshow and therefore feel more confident!!!

So whether it's a presentation on the national fiscal policy in regards to departmental spending for your economics class or a persuasive attempt to change your parents' fiscal policy in regards to your spending money, PowerPoint can be utilized for an effective outcome.
