The article on Principles of Technique was very informing. I felt like I knew or have heard most of the information before from other teachers that have tried telling me how to make a good PowerPoint presentation. But interesting enough, they never followed their own advice!

So for my students, I will first make sure that I have an amazing PowerPoint. Then I will share with them how to make one roughly as cool as mine. A lot of my previous teachers have told me what to do. But they have never showed me how. I want to make sure that my students know exactly how to make a good PowerPoint. Before giving a presentation, I could go through some quick and easy demonstrations in the computer lab so each student will know how to construct an awesome presentation.

All of this is so important because most jobs require some sort of a presentation one day or another on the job. You want your audience to enjoy listening to you and of course remember you and your message.

Of the many PowerPoints that I have constructed over the years, none of them were anything like those displayed in the article. Actually they pry fit with the common theme of what not to do!
