How to give a positive presentation

Possible problems with a PowerPoint presentation:

Not being able to understand or see the writing on the presentation due to the font being too small
A member of staff talking to quickly or not explaining information correctly

Lighting is either too dark or too bright

A teacher might not know the material on the slides

Too much volume of information per slide

Overlapping of information

Information that is irrelevant

Pick out key material

What is the correct way to give a presentation:

Focus is sharp

Rehearsed presentation

Walk through the information

Text is fairly large so that everyone can see it

Know the information and material on the presentation by heart

Go into depth with information that students do not understand fully

Have a specific style of expression

Confidence

Talk at a steady pace
