Draft Presentation

If you are not in class or come class without your draft presentation, assignment will need to be completed online.
Zen principles include:
1. Narration with pictures is better than narration alone.
2. People learn better when words are presented as narration rather than text.
3. People learn better from narration & graphics, rather than narration, graphics & text.
4. People learn better when extraneous visual material is excluded.
Quick Slide Tips:
- Keep it simple
- Avoid Microsoft templates or clip art
- Use high quality graphics, photos
- Use animation sparingly
- Synchronize slide change & speaking
- Use video/audio as appropriate
- Only 1 idea per slide
- Balance words and pictures; do not do all words or all pictures on slides

- Importance of addressing need, issue, problem
- Recommendations
- Have at least 2 recommendations; try to have 1 that is innovative, creative, not expected

measures of success (can use directional words)
