Good Info, Even Better Presentation

I've seen this video at other sites but I finally broke down to watch it on LifeHacker.com (great website). Anyway, even though I was not going to buy a car anytime soon, I decided to check it out. The info that was presented is great but the presentation is even better. If you are going to do any PowerPoint Presentations, check this one out! He has the presentation set up on a timer, so it forces the speaker to remember the points and to move along. NO SIDETRACKS! And he doles out a host of information in only a little over 5 minutes. Along with using only pictures until the recap slide, the information conveyed is pretty nice.

One last PowerPoint help

This will probably be my last Power Point help. I know the video describes how to pitch a presentation for money but I do believe the principles exemplified work in both sermons and teaching. I think that's all I can really do to help others with their power point presentations. The only other suggestion I have is watch good presenters. (Many found on www.TED.com are excellent) Good luck with those presentations and send me and suggestions or comments on this power point series.

More on Presentations

Thanks again to Ed Ross (I think...are you edr??) for another great video on presentations. The video plays on itself, in that they guy gives suggestions on how do do a presentation while the whole video sets itself up in the correct style.

How to do PowerPoint right!

Here's another video on how to effectively do Power Point presentations. Thanks again, to Ed Ross for connecting me, unknowingly, to this video. Watch the video and learn. But if you want the best resource on this; then purchase Cliff Atkinson's book Beyond Bullet Points. It is by far the best resource I can offer. The video is about 20 minutes. Enjoy.

PowerPoint and My Love/Hate Relationship with It

As many of you know, my church uses PowerPoint for almost everything. And while I love PowerPoint (you can do some great things with it and effectively communicate with it), I also hate it when it isn't used properly. And so to help some PowerPoint people out there here's a great example of what NOT to do with PowerPoint. DO NOT DO THIS! I cry when I see this done. By the way, I have to give thanks to Ed Ross for inadvertently directing me to this video. I found it on the Geeks&God forum.
