WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
In this lesson, I have learned that Microsoft PowerPoint is a very
good example of a presentation software because it allows users to
present information in a more engaging way. It also provides tools
such as animation and hyperlinks that enable users to create
dynamic presentations. Use hyperlinks if you want to easily
navigate your slides during the presentation. With hyperlinks you
can create links to an existing file or web page, a place in the
document, create a new document, and send e-mail to a specified
recipient.
To create an effective presentation, minimize the contents to
maintain a clear message, use fonts that are easy to read, use
bullets or short sentences, do not flood the slides with text,
avoid using visuals or graphics that can distract the
audience, be mindful of the contrast, and be consistent on
the design you use.
