Tips for students creating a PowerPoint Presentation• Avoid using too much text (writing) in in each slide• Limit the number of slides used in the presentation• Make sure the title is at the top and the slides are easy

to follow• Do not use fancy fonts so we all can read the

presentation with ease• Use contrasting colors for the text and background of

the presentation• Text can be difficult to read on patterned or textured

backgrounds so that is something to keep in mind.• Keep you color scheme consistent throughout your

presentation. • Use animations carefully as well as the transition options
