PowerPoint: How to Blow them Away without Using Bullets

Proposed by: Jim Ochterski

Presenter: Ochterski, J. , Agriculture Program Leader, Cce Of Ontario County, Canadaigua, NY 14424

PowerPoint slides used in Extension workshops often leave audience members quietly confused and detached, much more often than we would even realize. Many agents tend to fall into a pattern of creating text-heavy, bewildering slides that fail to get the main educational points across. This interactive session uses real examples from Extension faculty and staff presentations to help participants substantially improve the visual part of their PowerPoint presentations. Done well, your slides will carry a lot more weight and educational impact. Participants will also get introduced to books and resources that will make a big difference in preparing for workshop presentations. We will look at quick-to-learn tricks and engaging presentation techniques to launch and run your presentation smoothly.
