- [Instructor] I realize that there are a lot of educators…and students who cringe when they hear the words PowerPoint…because they associate them…with boring sit-and-get lectures.…This doesn't have to be the case, though.…In this video, we'll take a look…at some tips and best practices…for creating effective presentations using PowerPoint.…First, let's talk about the text.…In my experience, the number one reason…that a PowerPoint presentation flops is…because the presenter has a ton of words…on their slide; and then proceeds to read off of that slide.…By using too much text on your slides,…you confuse the audience.…
