If you want to have a horrible powerpoint, you need to do these five things. First, it needs to be completely bland, don't have a theme; make it look as ugly and boring as possible. Second, don't use pictures or any animation at all, it would cause the audience to actually pay attention. Third, put everything you are going to say exactly the way you are going to say it on the slides, that way the audience doesn't even have to listen to you. Fourth, read everything of you slides in the most monotone voice you can muster, I'm sure the audience needs a nap. Lastly, to complete this horrible PowerPoint, you must not interact with the audience or care that they have a question.
PowerPoints are a great tool that anyone can use in order to inform groups about anything. It depends on how the presenter works with their PowerPoint. With a PowerPoint you can show a group information, ideas, plans, and examples in a way that it is easy for them to understand and see. A lot of people learn and understand things visually so a PowerPoint is a great way to communicate with them. PowerPoints are great but without the presenter and the skill in which the presenter utilizes their PowerPoint, a PowerPoint would not be as effective in communicating information.
I totally agree with your pet peeves.
ReplyDeleteThe powerpoint you described sounds pretty boring!
