Powerpoint

Powerpoint is used to create slides for presentations. Audiences will stop paying attention to you speaking if you include too many long sentences, so just try to include key points and pictures.

Setup

Open the Powerpoint App (download from the App Store if you don't have it).

Here you can choose themes to make your presentation look more interesting.

A new Powerpoint presentation will open.

Adding Slides

Adding Notes

When presenting, it is often useful to have notes displayed on a separate screen so that you know what to say.

Bullet Points

Bullet points are a good way to present concise information.

We don't want all of the bullet points to appear at once though. To make them appear one at a time:

Adding Images

They say that a picture speaks a thousand words. They are right.

We will now add a new slide but select a different layout to the first

If you make a mistake, right click on the slide in the left hand panel and delete it.

To add an image, you can either click on the picture icon and navigate to a photo on your computer

Or copy and paste from the internet

We want our image to be a surprise and therefore display after the text.

Playing Your Presentation
