Presentations

Presentations are generally used to communicate to an audience in a specific location, such as a classroom or business board room.

• Gives structure to a lesson or briefing so you are less likely to forget part of what you are teaching.
• Allow a wider variety of media to be used than paper – sounds, animations, videos
• More interactive than paper – can be navigated, include embedded quizzes / polls

• If overused can result in ‘Death by powerpoint”
• Less interactive than other media.

On-line presentations are growing massively in popularity. They can be combined with internet conference calls / VIOP technology to allows lessons to be conducted on-line.

Examples include:

• Prezi
• Google slides
