7 reasons why PowerPoint is still effective to use in presentations


We believe PowerPoint is still effective. In fact it has never been so effective.
PowerPoint has been around for a very long time. And it has been used in presentations thousands of times

It gives you control

PowerPoint allows you to control the flow of a presentation. You can control the theme and setting for your talk. Using colors will allow people to see the importance of what you are saying. Using images and videos will help portray your message alongside what you say.

It helps to engage the audience

If you have a screen with a presentation on it. Then the audience will look at it. There is no doubt about that. But it is important that you put the right content onto your slides.
Having a slide full of text will bore your audience and stop them from listening to you as they will want to read as opposed to listen. Using singular words and graphics allows your audience to build a picture in their mind while you speak. Because they have a fuller picture in the mind they will remember it more.

It can make anything look good

Steve jobs, the master of presenting, always had a slide. When he announced the iPhone. He ran through three images before merging them into the iPhone. Steve Jobs could not have done this with the slides. He could not have done this with just words.
You too can make anything look good when it is on a slide. Pictures taken in the right light with the perfect shadows. Images photoshoped to bring out extra glare.
The only limit is your imagination. And not deceiving the audience.

Presenter view can help you

If you have a big presentation to deliver and you are a little bit nervous the presenter view can help you. Yes, you should be practicing your presentation before you deliver but you can still have some nerves.
With presenter view you can have the notes on one screen while you have the presentation on another one.
Making it easy to see quick notes every time you go onto a new slide. This will help to keep the sides key points fresh in your mind always. Preparation is key here.

It can keep you organized

Some people love to talk. This often leads to lots of diversions meaning they go well beyond their allotted time or miss key points. When you have a PowerPoint presentation you will be given structure. It will tell you what is now and what is next. PowerPoint will keep you on track.

You can share the content afterwards

Having a slide deck makes it super easy to share your content afterwards. Your aim is always to get a message across to your audience. Providing them with a pack to bring away with them will allow them to skim over the contents. This will help them to remember key messages from your presentation.
PowerPoint is as important as ever in the presentation worlds. PowerPoint is still effective. We believe so here at PowerPoint Training Online. Well, we would say that as we want it to be around forever. We feel that PowerPoint is going to be around for a very long time. It is used worldwide across the business world and the conference world.

Why online learning has become so popular

Onlinelearning  has been on the rise in recent years, and it’s really not hard to see why. On the one hand, eLearning courses have become hugely popular by the simple virtue of being so much more convenient than traditional face to face courses. Students can fit them around their existing responsibilities and commitments, and can engage with multimedia content and learning materials at whatever time is most convenient to them. Even better: they don’t have to travel anywhere to study, they can simply log in to the virtual campus from the comfort of their own home or office. There’s a second reason why online learning has become so popular: it’s cheaper. Cost can often be a prohibitive factor in why individual students don’t enrol in courses they’re interested in. This is also an issue for corporations who wish to encourage their employees to undergo further training but don’t have much of a budget for conferences and training courses.  Online courses  are easily...

Why Career Counselling is Important in Schools?

Career Counselling has always been important but only recently, got the recognition it deserves. Earlier, people sought out career counsellors, for a change in careers, only after they got a job and were unhappy with it. Now, people recognize that this isn’t ideal. What is noteworthy, is to consider why people change careers. It doesn’t take much thinking to understand that someone who does that was never convinced of what career they should take. Such a decision usually stems from school. Many students make career choices based on the most picked career among their peers. They don’t, for once, consider what they like until it’s too late. Picking a career usually, comes after picking a course. If a student doesn’t pick the right course, it would inadvertently affect their career choice. A recent study showed that 1 in 3 students are unhappy with the course that they picked. That is nearly half a million dissatisfied university students! Such figures only point to one clear t...
