Effective Use of Power Point Slides

It is very important to keep the bullet points to five. Remember it is a guide to keep the instructor on track and guide the student in topics to read in their book. It is important to have equal amounts of white space between your bullets. Graphics should be carefully considered to reinforce the content and not be perceived as offensive. Please, do not read from power points. If you have thought it out and prepared the slides you know your material and the content should come across as a discussion.

This is something that I've been working on - I never read from the slides but the temptation to put too much on them is there. One thing I have been doing is putting more into my notes and less on the slide and then using presenter view so I see the notes easily. Sometimes I just use a picture and then all the rest comes across as discussion even though I have prepared points to cover.
