SUCCESS(full) Presentation

success: Richard St. John (From TED)

This isn’t only a presentation about what leads to success… it is also about presenting successfully.

It is about how to use Powerpoint (or another presentation tool) effectively: Simple graphics, purposeful movement/animation, a single key word, effective use of bold font, a minimalist quote, good pacing, simple humour, and a message that we could all benefit from.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Reflection upon re-reading and re-posting:

I used this as part of a presentation to Grade 11’s and 12’s, (and blogged about it later). The one key thing I am starting to understand is that ‘design’ is a skill that is necessary to teach students. I absolutely hate being ’shot to death’ by Powerpoint bullets… but realize that if I get bullet-bombed, it is my fault for not showing students how else they can creatively use this presentation tool.
