******PowerPoint Presentations and Critiques
Please try to limit your presentation to two or three minutes - I will be happy to remind you :-)

There is an Excel spreadsheet inside 20PPTEval that you can use to take notes as others present.
Be sure and calculate your Average, Min and Max ratings. You can use your comments to help with your homework blog entry.

Presentation Tips:

• Connect at an intellectual and emotional level in a sincere way
• Make your ideas stick by keeping things simple, using examples and stories, and including the unexpected
• Say good-bye to filler words ("um", "uh","like","you know") and hello to eye contact
• Ask questions of your audience - "How many of think you know who discovered aspirin?"
• Leave them just a little hungry for more

Homework:

Make a thoughtful blog entry describing your two favorite PowerPoint presentations. Say why they impressed you - discuss the design and the content. Leave a brief comment on the blogs of those you chose telling them why you liked their work. (10)
