how bad I "sucked" at making Powerpoints! :-) Here are a few of the questions, comments and concerns that I came up with after watching everything. I will be using these as notes for myself in the next week.
1. If we aren’t supposed to use any of the standard slides from PP, do we have to make all of them ourselves?? Yikes.
2. I don’t know how to place pictures over pictures using the watermark or transparent method.
3. I do usually use a color theme, probably because I have used the standard slides! Colorlovers.com- never heard of it!
4. I agree that presentations are super boring when you have exact words in them, yet I do do that sometimes if I am giving it as a print-out for students.
5. Uh, we can’t use Google images?? Had no idea! Royalty Free istockphoto.com and Creative Commons compfight.com or flicker.com - made a note! Skitch.com as well for making arrows and such
6. How do you embed videos??
7. Slideshare.net sounds like a place I could make some money after I upload and share it!
8. Recapping is often the missing element. Probably because everyone, including the presenter, is sick of the content by the end!
9. I will try to Google “beautiful fonts” it may help me- but I get overloaded with options! I am a sucker for the default!
10. Wow! 30 hours suggested on one presentation! I don't think I have that many sick days left to use to make mine this next week!
I am pretty sure we all still have a lot to learn about presentations:) I am really a sucker for simple presentations!
