Computer Skills: Presentation Basics

Week 7 was about presentation basics using Microsoft PowerPoint. I am familiar with PowerPoint, so this week was a good refresher course for me on the new PowerPoint.

The objectives for week 7 were:

• Create and edit a basic presentation
• Understand and utilize effective presentation techniques

I found that the reading this week had some great tips for effectively using PowerPoint. There was information on how to use each of the tools with PowerPoint efficiently to make a presentation that is both informative and keeps your audiences attention.

I also found that The 10/20/30 Rule for PowerPoint was a great tool to use. I had never heard of this rule before, but the rules made alot of sense and they were easy to remember and follow.



During week 7 I learned some new techniques and rules for PowerPoint that I will be able to take with me and use in the future. Next week is the end of the Summer Semester and therefore, next week will be my last post for this blog. So far, I have learned many new things that I can use in the future and I am glad that I will be able to use things that I have learned to help me in business as well as in future classes.
