Effective use of equipment or visual aids
There are some basic guidelines for using equipment effectively.
- don't block the view.
- check from the back of the room if the visual is visible.
- don't fill the view with too much information.
- limit the number of ideas to one slide/visual (4 maximum).
- reveal only one point at a time.
- keep it simple and talk around it.
- show the visual for long enough for people to read, digest and listen to you.
- know how they operate or work, and how to trouble-shoot when they don't.
- practice using them.
