Presentation Secrets: Tips, Tricks and Ideas to Level up your Presentation Skills

“Presentation is the killer skill we take into the real world. It gives us an almost unfair advantage”

If you use PowerPoint or Keynote to present information to students, colleagues, or parents, this workshop will help you to make your presentations more engaging, more interesting and more beautiful.

“Death by PowerPoint” is a common expression used to describe the mundane use of slides by teachers, principals and conference presenters, to present information.

It doesn’t have to be that way!

In Andrew’s own experience, PowerPoint can be strategically used as a powerful tool to create mood, pique interest and evoke laughter, which each make the learning experience addictive.

PowerPoint has been around for a loooooooong time, and most teachers think they know how to use it – but recently it has evolved! It now contains lots of very powerful, though not at all obvious, features.

Learn how to make PowerPoint slides that:

– Make the content they present memorable

– Look stunning!

– Contain effective animations to lead your students eyes to the right part of a slide.

– Embed interactive elements in your PowerPoint slides (so students can respond to polls or make comments that appear on the slide!)

– show live subtitles in a foreign language.

– Much, much more.

In addition learn tricks for presenting content effectively (with or without PowerPoint), in ways that bring an audience alive (rather than sending them to sleep).

Your next lesson, Staff meeting or conference presentation will make your audience ask “how did you do that?”

Quote from a recent workshop attendee: “OMG … so much!!! Best session!!! I wish I had more time before class starts to apply all these fabulous tips to make my Powerpoint presentations more engaging for students. That is the challenge I’m taking forward from this session – to apply all these crazy tips and tricks!”
