"I'm Joe Dunlop. I'm a consultant and an adjunct professor with Steven Henegars College in the business area. Today, we want to talk about lecturing with the PowerPoint. PowerPoints are very useful in all sorts of settings, whether it is in a business or a classroom. But the problem is, often, people put too much on a PowerPoint. When you have nothing but words on a PowerPoint, after PowerPoint page, after PowerPoint page, it becomes extremely monotonous and hard to follow. Also, people tend to cram too many lines into a PowerPoint. Make it entertaining. Remember that there's all sorts of added effects that are available on PowerPoint, have some fun with it. Make it so your audience will be surprised. Don't clutter a slide with a bunch of words, use two or three slides if you need to. But make it so that it's attractive, easy to read and one that does not contain all of the information you want to on a PowerPoint. Remember the PowerPoint is to accentuate your lecture. It's there to add knowledge and make it understandable. And it is also there simply to be an additional point to what you're talking about, a visual effect that will make it more understandable to your audience."
