Presentation Design

"This week we began studying presentation design.  I had no idea..."

Ideas:
*  Set yourself apart
*  Killer title and opening slide
*  Rotate text
*  CRAP-contrast   repetition  alignment  proximity 

 Questions:
*  Check out skitch.com (for screen shots)
*  Check out compfight.com (for visuals--may be free?)

*  How do I ensure the hi-res images?

Concerns:
*  Good presentations take hours of prep---not usually that feasible when working full time and planning multiple lessons per day
*  Video sites to borrow from other than youtube that are kid friendly and meet curriculum needs?
*  When using "unexpected photos" or videos it can sometimes be hard to find some that relate and totally don't set the kids off task.

  1. I also appreciated the acronym, hints, and websites to check out as I am a novice in this field...and I never thought about the possibility of a photo leading an audience of students off track - that would be something to consider when choosing.
