Lesson 5: Advanced Presentation Skills

        Probably, the Microsoft PowerPoint is the most used presentation software. A presentation software is an application software that allows user to create visual aids for presentations to communicate ideas, messages, and other informations to a group. As for my experience with a presentation software, it is really beneficial because most of the performance tasks that we do in school requires a visual presentation and even when having a research/thesis defense. In this lesson, I learned that creating a visual presentation is not just as it is. Having an effective presentation requires minimization (keeping the slide counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to keep the audience attentive), clarity (avoids being fancy by using font style that is easy to read), simplicity (using bullets ans short sentences), visual ( using graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience), consistency and contrast. The use of hyperlinks can also be a help in making a good and effective presentation. Hyperlink is a link from a hypertext file or document to another location or file, typically activated by clicking on a highlighted word or image on the screen.It links to different options such as Existing File or Web Page, Place in This Document, Create a New Document and  E-mail Address.
