I have scooped this presentation not so much for its content as for its form though I find no fault with the content of course.

It is a brilliant example how you can design your slides to get that unique look of a genuine handmade product. Greatly inspirational for students as they can learn how to design and draw their own slides.

What Makes a PowerPoint Slide Good?

What Makes a PowerPoint Slide Good? | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it
From www.atrixware.com - January 19, 2012 12:25 PM

First off, don’t just make slides to make slides. Each slide should have a point, and it should add to the presentation as a whole rather than just take up space. In fact, this is a good time for me to point out one of my own personal pet peeves. Pre-set slide counts. If you sit down to build a new presentation already knowing the number of slides you will end up with, then something is very very wrong!

How Can I Make My PowerPoint Presentations Amazing?

How Can I Make My PowerPoint Presentations Amazing? | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it
From lifehacker.com - May 17, 2013 11:44 AM

"Dear Lifehacker, I have been tasked to make a slideshow for an event at work. I don’t want to make a generic PowerPoint with just boring text or pictures. What are some ways I can enhance the slideshow so it looks impressive and knocks the socks off my audience?"

Baiba Svenca's insight:

Great article answering the reader's question about how to make a slideshow look impressive.

It gives suggestions and tips what to avoid and what not to forget. Learn the lessons by Steve Jobs and Seth Godin. Take note of the 5 basic slide design rules:

1. Simplify

2. Lose the cliches

3. Information needs emphasis

4. Designate elements

5. Empathy for the audience.

Revise the 10/20/30 Rule, enhance your presentation by carefully choosing fonts, images, diagrams, shapes and templates.

Explore lots of additional resources.

I was an early adopter of Prezi (I think), and am now starting to get a bit tired of the predictable jumping around. It's like cinnamon or something. A wonderful spice but in small doses and not every day! I found that I returned to PPT, using punchy images (thanks Common creative section on Flickr!!) and short / one-word statements. Very powerful
