PowerPoint – Resources and Examples to Make the Perfect Presentation
Do you need to create a PowerPoint presentation for work, school or a YouTube video to promote your business? Many people know the basics of how to put together a quick presentation. But do you know how to make that presentation pop? If you haven’t read the book Death by Powerpoint, it is an interesting read. I can’t tell you how many PowerPoint presentations I have sat through in business meetings while suffering a slow painful death . . . I found that many of them were either really boring or shared unnecessary information or usually both.
I teach several courses where students are required to submit their assignments as a Powerpoint presentation. If you are considering putting together a presentation, here are some wonderfully helpful sites to get you started:
- http://www.meryl.net/2008/01/10/70-powerpoint-and-presentation-resources-and-great-examples/ – This site includes a very comprehensive list of 70+ PowerPoint and Presentation Resources and Great Examples.
- http://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/41661.aspx – If you want to see some samples of more presentations, check these out from brighthub.Â
- http://www.iasted.org/conferences/formatting/presentations-tips.ppt – This is an actual PowerPoint presentation giving tips about a PowerPoint presentation.
- http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/skills/presentations.aspx – Where better to find PowerPoint tips than from Microsoft . . .check out 12 tips for creating better presentations.
- http://www.slideshare.net/thecroaker/death-by-powerpoint – Great video:Â Death by Powerpoint and how to fight it.
- http://elmhurst.edu/~jacobh/WorstPresentationEverStandAlone.ppt – PowerPoint presentation that calls itself Quite Possibly the Worst PowerPoint Presentation Ever.
- http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~kati/PresentationGuide.ppt – Terrible PowerPoint presentations presented in a PowerPoint presentation.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3gcCrTSzw – Youtube video from Microsoft showing new media-rich tools for PowerPoint 2010.
Once you have completed your PowerPoint presentation, why not go the extra step and add your voice for the full presentation. I like to use Camtasia Studio. However, you can also utilize sites like Voice Thread at http://voicethread.com/. This site allows you to record the audio portion of your presentation without having to buy software. You can even use your telephone to call into their system and dictate your presentation. What is easier than that? You simply enter your phone number and their system calls you. You have three minutes, per slide, to talk if you use their free account. You can upgrade for $12.95 when I last checked. When you are finished, you will get a link that you can go to in order to see and hear your presentation.
Why Josh and Chuck and the Stuff You Should Know Podcast is Awesome!
If you haven’t found their podcast yet, you must give it a try. Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant have a podcast titled Stuff You Should Know. I am very busy with my teaching and writing, but I always find time to listen to their downloaded podcasts. They are a very entertaining team, part of the “How Stuff Works” site at http://www.howstuffworks.com/. Josh and Chuck have recorded over 250 episodes with topics ranging from serial killers to cliff diving. Â
Check out this article about them on mediashift:Â http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2010/06/how-josh-chuck-made-stuff-you-should-know-a-hit-podcast162.html
 You can get the podcast on their site at http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/stuff-you-should-know-podcast.htm or just go to Itunes and look for them there. That is how I found them.

My guest this week is Dr. Diane Hamilton – www.drdianehamilton.com. Diane has a Doctorate in Business Management and currently teaches business courses for six online universities. Along with her teaching experience, she has more than 25 years of business and management experience. Dr. Hamilton has also written several books and articles which focus on understanding online education, and personal finance for young adults. Her most recent book, Ten Things Young Adults Need to Know to be Financially Savvy is designed to teach young adults basic principles of personal finance. The unique and innovative style of the book engages young readers to learn about money management, home-buying and other areas of personal finance in an entertaining and personal way that is far from the typical dull text available on the subject.
