PowerPoint tip 19

PowerPoint tip 19.

Use video or audio
Use video and audio when appropriate. Using
video clips to show concrete examples
promotes active cognitive processing, which is
the natural way people learn. You can use
video clips within PowerPoint without ever
leaving the application or tuning on a VCR.
Using a video clip not only will illustrate your
point better, it will also serve as a change of
pace thereby increasing the interest of your
audience. You can use audio clips (such as interviews) as well. Something to avoid,
however, is cheesy sound effects that are included in PowerPoint (such as the sound
of a horn or applause when transitioning slides). The use of superfluous sound effects
attached to animations is a sure way to lose credibility with your audience.
