Chapeter One did wonders for my boring ppt. Dr. Burmark explains how to create an inviting and unique presentation. In technolgy, what was new last weeks is already considered outdated. I can remember how our instructors supported and even motivated us to use all the defaul templates,animations and designs. It made for a cute,coloful presentation,but that was then. Today, to many of use make the mistake of writing to much information on the ppt and boring the audience. Dr. Burmark was right on target,when she mentions how you can lose your audience with all the text provided. Furthermore, the research behind the correct background color was beneficial for implmenting in my revised power point. In order to be unique you have to be creative and go with your own sense for a template. The templates are just a guidline not a necessity. As for the type, I am guilty of going bold happy and using cute text. I was able to delete some of the text and insert some pictures that conveyed the same message.
