This document provides tips for improving PowerPoint presentations in 10 steps: 1. Use visuals like images to communicate concepts rather than just text on slides. 2. Teach how to find appropriate images and consider intellectual property issues. 3. Cover design principles to make slides visually appealing yet not distracting. 4. Explain that color, font choice, and multimedia can enhance presentations when used correctly. 5. Reveal PowerPoint secrets to improve slide content and delivery.

1 “ Teach them biology”
 
 
 
Dual Processing: Visual and Auditory
2 “ Teach them to make it visual”
PowerPoint doesn’t kill presentations Bullet points do.
“ Why would you use words on the screen when they do just fine in your mouth” Seth Godin
 
Use images to communicate, not decorate…
Recall Dupuit, Flow to fixed heads with recharge: Note: Recharge is a fixed flux and head/gradient will be calculated to accommodate that recharge - e.g. High recharge >> High heads h1 and h2 are fixed heads and flux will be calculated to accommodate those heads - e.g. a high h1 will shift the divide to the left of the problem domain and produce large influx that joins the reachrge and discharges to the right, if h2 is very low, that influx will be even higher h 1 h 2 L x=0 w q x d h x
Cognitive Load: Intrinsic and Extraneous
3 “ Teach them how to find images ”
 
 
 
4 “ Teach them about intellectual property”
 
5 “ Teach them design”

Synaptic changes in the brain We create new synapses through learning Changes in synaptic strength enhance learning Neurons that fire together wire together Experiences leave indelible imprints in the brain.( emotional experiences).
The Brain: Present Synaptic Changes in the Brain We create new synapses through learning | Changes in synaptic strength enhance learning |
The Brain: Present Synaptic Changes in the Brain Neurons that fire together wire together | Experiences leave indelible imprints in the brain
Negative plasticity Examine the worry circuitry in the brain Limbic system Thoughts have an impact on the brain Get rid of the ANTS-kill them Think of bad thoughts as air pollution Exterminate the ants – get rid of always negative thinking
Negative Plasticity Examine the worry circuitry Limbic System Thoughts have an impact on the brain Get rid of the ANTS-negative thinking Bad thoughts as air pollution
6 “ Teach them to Sell”
Communication is the transfer of emotion” Seth Godin
How many homeless? Between 2.3 and 3.5 million are likely to experience being homeless in a year 1.35 million of them are children 200,000 veterans may be homeless on a given night. 50% African-American, 35% White, 12% Latino, 2% Native American, 1% Asian
How many experience being homeless? Between 2.3 and 3.5 million people… 1.35 million are children 200,000 are veterans
7 “ Color and font choice matters”
Of the 16 million colors…
 
 
 
 
This is a Serif Font This is a Sans Serif Font
8 “ Teach them to incorporate multimedia”
The Hard Way…
The Easy Way….Kind of
The No Brainer
The Story of a Sign
9 “ Teach them PowerPoint Secrets ”
10 “ Teach them to share”
“ Having the winning idea means nothing without being able to share it with someone else” Dan Roam, The Back of the Napkin
