Presentation Tricks
I really like this set of three tips to help you with your presentations using PowerPoint. My advice is to avoid it if at all possible, but recently I found myself speaking for three hours and had to have some sort of slide to show people. I still bounced around a little between PowerPoint and the web, but so little of the hours were spent online that I had to have some sort of slide. I'm repeating the program at WLA, though it will only be 1 hour, and I hope to pull it off with no PowerPoint presentation. :)
But, if you too find yourself needing PowerPoint, these three tips will help you. Whether you use dual monitors (something I will definitely try next time), a giant clock to keep you on time, or laptop cue-cards, they will really help.
