Powerpoint works in a completely different unit than pixels so if you look at the standard presentation.xml within the. divide this by 36 and times by 48 and WOOHOO we get the actual 960 pixels! So take the dots per cm 28.346 * width in cm 25.4 should = 960 but actually = 720. if you take the standard 960x720 document size of 25.4cm x 19.05cm and do the maths it doesn't work out and funnily enough the amount it's out by is EXACTLY the ratio of standard points (as used in font sizes) to pixels eg: 36pt = 48px (this isn't an EXACT ratio but near enough for this) Hope all is well "down under" (have some friends in Wishart 4122!!!) Yup.PPT is excellent for instruction and a great visual aid tool.The reason everyone is TOTALLY confused here is that Powerpoint uses 72 POINTS Per Inch (28.346 per cm) NOT PIXELS. I see you don't have email accessable via this page or I'd send a short four page slide show thing (see my earlier post).
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SIZE OF A POWERPOINT SLIDE FULL
I use a full slide show of scenes, but you can just put up a single slide with a welcome logo or whatever and have the music play as a loop. wav format to do that (check the Net.there are a few converter programs available free). On adding music to a slide or slide show.you'll have to convert any MP3 or. is when color differentation presents a problem.stick to a light text on dark background (the white background is undesireable because of the eye shock). Regarding color blind folks.if you mean red with green.bad idea! I am a nurse by profession and use to work physical exams a lot.when you blend red, green, blue, yellow, etc. Reherse your presentation and know what the slides contain! If you set a presentation up well, it will keep the audience awake, enthralled with your wizardry in power Point, and leave a lasting impression. You can use the speakers notes function in Power Point to stay on ually, a speaker nows the subject and presentation well enough to avoid that.ġ0. and have Sting's "Desert Rose" as the music as students settle into the room before I begin the presentation.I post credit for the music on the slides!) Yeah, it's a "gee-wow-oooohhhh" thing, but it gets a room ready for the presentation and motivates them a bit, I think.ĩ. as I can) of the Grand Canyon, New Mexico, etc.


A good attention getter is an opening slide with perhaps a musical background theme (I use a desert theme with slides (with transitions and timed as closely to the musical crescendos, etc. I like to use sounds to emphasize main or important points and to make slide transitions from one topic or point to attracts attention and focuses interest.shock factor for the dozing or day dreaming student!Ĩ. Use slide transitions! (Remember the old overhead slide thing? Changing slides was supposed to be done by slipping the new slide over the current one to avoid "white out".that bright, blank sceren)ħ. Hide (animate) text so that YOU control what your audience sees at any given time (they will read ahead of you and miss a significant part of your presentation if the information is viewable in the screen!)Ħ. There is hardly ever a need for a complete sentence in a slide presentation!ĥ. Most of the recommendations suggest no more than four or five single lines on a slide (anything more becomes too difficult to see and muddles the slide).Ĥ. Research shows that a light color on dark background is more easily seen (white on black is demonstrated to be recalled better than any other contrast, but it is a bit boring.white on blue, yellow on blue, white on red, etc. Generally, fonts should be large enough to be easily read from the back wall of the room.Ģ. I teach at the university and spent a 27 year career in the military both attending hundreds of classes and doing hundreds of presentation (but don't hold me to spell check!)ġ. Well, let me say that this is MY perspective and the way I use Power Point and any other visual aids.
