Time to Create a Presentation...
You need to create a presentation for a class or training. What is your go to tool?
I'm guessing most people said PowerPoint.
Why do we like PowerPoint?
- It's familiar.
- It's easy to navigate.
- We probably have one already created that we can tweak.
- It's overused.
- Bad design elements.
Have you ever created a presentation or had to sit through one like this?
Regardless of the tool, try to keep these tips in mind when creating a presentation.
Don't "Overdo" the colors, animations, clipart, etc. ~ Keep it simple!
Just keep a few questions in mind when you are looking to create a digital presentation:
- Who is your audience?
- What is your purpose?
Now let's look at some alternatives to PowerPoint
Other Web Tools - not so much like PowerPoint
