Q2 Present and Publish: Google Slides

11. Powerful Presentations

This is an animated presentation demonstrating some things to avoid in your presentation.

Here are some suggestions about the use of bullet points & fonts:

  1. Limit the number of bullet points on each slide to 3 or less
  2. Font Size: If your presentation is to be shown on a screen using a projector, make sure the font is large enough (24-30 point is recommended). If it will be viewed on a computer monitor or device, then
  3. Type of Font: Arial, Calibri, and Garamond, are recommended, and to avoid script and italic fonts. For titles you might choose a Serif or Sans Serif font
  4. Consistency: Settle on a consistent font for your group slide presentation
  5. Photos and Images: When including pictures (photos or images) use proper citations to cite the source when there are copyright restrictions. A link to a website about your slide content that you found in your research or including the citation in the speaker notes is wise.

2. Presentation Tips and Tricks

This bookmarked video covers the following:

  • View the speaker notes when presenting with a projector or 2nd monitor
  • Show the cursor like a laser pointer when presenting
  • Blank the screen when presenting
  • Several presentation modes
  • Show the captions when presenting (requires using an attached mic)
  • View the speaker notes while presenting in Zoom
  • Create Handouts for your audience

3. Practice...practice...practice your presentation. Practice eye contact with your audience, relax and remember to check for questions. Make changes based on feedback from another classmate, your teacher, and your own observations.

4. Good luck! We hope you had fun learning some new things with Google Slides.

Check with your teacher about reflecting on this experience. It might take the form of a discussion forum or class discussion, or writing about it.

A written reflection might include: 

  1. A paragraph on the skills they learned
  2. A paragraph on their group participation based on the characteristics document
  3. A paragraph about something you liked about the project
  4. Sharing one or two things they would do differently in the future.
