Making the Best PowerPoint Presentation

Here are some tips for making sure you have made an efficient PowerPoint presentation:
1. Keep the slides simple. To much on one slide can be distracting.
2. Use graphics and charts. These can help visual learners and put your information in a different perspective.
3. Have transitions in your slides. This helps add to the quality of your presentation.
4. Include notes on each slide. Notes allow you to be able to deliver a solid presentation.
5. Choose fonts wisely. Have readable information that is big enough for everyone to see.

Somethings that I find annoying are when there is to much going on in each slide. I get distracted and can't focus on the main idea. Also color is good, but too much color can really hurt a presentation.

Chris Nolan's Presentation

I found Chris Nolan's talk very informative and I learned a lot of new things. For one, I did not know that Google ranks the websites by how many times the word appears in the document or how often the cite is linked to other cites. Another thing I learned about was Google Scholar. I knew you could search for academic sources in the library, but I always thought that Google was for more popular or media based websites. But with Google Scholar you are able to look for academic articles. What surprised me was how little I actually knew about Google. The different search tools will help me on papers and projects from here on out.
