Power points!

I'm so glad we're learning about power points now because they are something we use so often in school. I think people, including myself, make some mistakes when creating a PowerPoint and its important to go over some guidelines before giving a presentation. Here are my five guidelines for making a PowerPoint:
1. Don't write everything on the PowerPoint! Summarize!
2. Don't go overboard with clip art and animation, too much can be distracting.
3. Use colors that work well together and are readable. Do not use neon on neon, it'll give people headaches.
4. When using clip art, use things that work with your presentation, not that are just randomly pick for the sake of having clip art. And when possible, use images instead of clip art.
5. Go over your power point like a paper. Look for typos and spelling errors.
