Description

There are many types of audio and visual materials available to speakers today, from the blackboard to DVDs. In between, there’s everything from whiteboards with colored markers and overhead transparencies to computer-generated slide shows. The computer-generated slide show has become the most common, and it often incorporates many of the other media. Since most of the same principles apply to other types of presentations, this chapter will focus primarily on composing and presenting a computer-generated slide show. Even if you are never called on to put together one of these, but only to present one created by someone else, understanding how to most effectively compose one will assist you as you select and present them.
