Kill Your PowerPoint!
Presentation Design Skills Every College Instructor Needs to Know
A whopping 83% of college students say they hate sitting through PowerPoint-driven lectures. But considering today’s excess of poorly designed slides crammed with text, bullets and tacky clipart, well… you can understand the contempt.
Just as a crummy slide deck can detract from your classroom presentation, responsibly designed slides work hard for you. Great slides support your message, get your students leaning forward, and even help “tweak the retention gland,” so to speak.
In this fast-moving session, you’ll learn all about responsible slide design. You’ll see how to make words, images, colors and motion work together to produce powerful lecture slides that support your message with style. You’ll learn how to leverage free and nearly free online resources that tap into your creative side. And you’ll even pick up new techniques for holding your students’ attention throughout an hour-long lecture. By the end of the session, you’ll have a roadmap for creating and delivering epic presentations your students will love (or at least remember)!
