152. How to design slides

Text Layout

Graphics Color15Design elements:Text layoutColorGraphicsSome dos and dontsExtra: right click on donut to show chart types if time available and relevant16Text LayoutSize (large)Type Sans Serif - Helvetic, Arial, TahomaCase (upper and lower)Underlining (dont)Bold, color, italicsNumber of slides 1-2 slides per minute of presentationAmount of text per slideLess is more (not a read aloud)Key points - 6 lines MAX

2. How to design slides16Select fonts carefully. Use highly legible, large size fontsno underlining, but do use bold, color, and italicsunderlining is hard to read, should also be reserved for hyperlinksFont color should not cause eyesore when placed against background [light type on dark background]Keep it simple. Ppt is a visual aid for presenter, not a replacement for presenter, so not too many wordsRules of Thumb: max of 6 lines per page, 6 words per line; 1-2 slides per minute of presentation.Keep words to a minimum - reduces the temptation to use fonts that are too smallDo not linger on the same slide forever.Recommended fonts: Sans serif Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma [true type if printability is important]. PPT templates arrive with generally recommended styles and formats.Serif- vs. Sans Serif sans serif as these are bullets, not much text used, used only to make a point. For printing your speaker notes, however, serif might be better.Some good presenters recommend using a consistent logo on each slide, though managing the extra space it takes can be a challenge.

17ColorStick to a theme of colorsDarker backgroundsLighter text and graphicsKnow your room lighting conditions2. How to design slides17Choose colors wiselySome combinations: red/green, brown/green, blue/black, and blue/purple are hard for people with color perception difficulties (color blindness) to see. [Next slide presents these examples]For everyone, in general, some colors are more soothing to the eye in on-screen presentations due to type and quantity of light, medium used, etc. ....Handle red with care a little goes a long way!Black is a good basic background colorConnotes finality and also works well as a transition colorDeep or dark blue works well tooArrange colors from dark to lightGraphic elements that move from darkest to lightest are easiest to scan

Extra: last two slides have common Office clipart -- recolored or flipped.Demonstrate grouping/ungrouping on pencil image if time permits

PURPOSESelects a strategy for improving student learning. Establishes and maintains a purpose and clear focus throughout.

VOICE - NARRATIONVoice quality is clear and consistently audible throughout the story. The pace (rhythm and voice punctuation) fits the story line and helps the audience really "get into" the story.

OPENING AND CLOSING SLIDESCreates a high quality introductory slide with presentation title, your name, date and a high quality slide acknowledgements slide (collaborators, resources). Clearly explains purpose of the presentation slideshow in the voice narration.

PLANNINGClear in presenting the related strategies, significance, standards, strategy, the lesson

ACTIONHigh quality evidence of applying the related strategy in the classroom.

REFLECTION

Clear in commenting on what worked well (decisions, actions, what could improve, and other unintended results; what was learned from creating a digital teaching story and using PowerPoint (benefits and challenges)

PACING AND DURATIONThe story is told with exactly the right pacing and amount of detail throughout. It is the right length, about 3-5 minutes.

QUALITY OF SLIDESAll slides are high quality and representative of planning, action, and reflection.
