Visual Aids

Guys I have been out of the net for minute, but i'm back now. I have been looking at some tip for the visual aid speech and ran across some simple things that might help. Looking and week 6 on blackboard which has a ass load of stuff. So I thought I would add to that. Below are some simple steps you can applied. Also a couple websites that have some good info.

Step1 Darken the room slightly so that your slides will be properly visible.
Step2 Leave each slide up for at least 20 seconds.
Step3 If you need to discuss something else between two slides, insert a blank (black) slide between the two slides so that your audience won't be distracted.
Step4 Use software templates to create professional-looking overheads.
Step5 Number your overheads in case you accidentally drop them.
Step6 Apply masking tape to the edges of the projector not covered by the overhead to avoid glare.
Step7 Use fewer overheads by showing only one part of a single overhead at a time.
Step8 Stand next to the screen (not the projector) after you places each overhead on the projector. This way, your audience doesn't have to look back and forth between you and the screen.
