So, when using PowerPoint slides you should

  • Always use dot points instead of long whole sentences
  • Always use a little colour and useful graphical elements to relieve boredom and add interest
  • Always be simple and clear so that the message is distilled to its most clearest form
  • Always be shown for long enough time to allow everyone to read, digest and listen
  • Always ADD to your words NOT detract from them
  • Always try to use cartoons, images, screenshots, video, graphs or other graphics instead of words wherever possible
  • Be consistent with the use of font type and size. Don't overuse capitals, italics or coloured text.
  • Always blank the screen when you are not talking to a slide. It is confusing to see a slide that has nothing to do with what the presenter is talking about.
