A presentation program is supposed to help both: the speaker with an easier access to his
ideas and the participants with visual infarmation which compements the talk.
There are many different types of presentations including
professional (work-related),
education,
entertainment, and
general communication.
The central purpose of any presentation, written, oral or visual, is communication. To
communicate effectively, you must state your facts in a simple, concise and interesting
manner.
It is proven that the people learn more readily and retain more information when learning is
reinforced by visualization. You can entertain, inform, excite and even shock an audience by
the proper integration of visual images into virtually any exchange of information.
This kind of presentation maximizes the audience retention of the subject matter. The
phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" has discovered the value of visuals in the
news business. Simple, clear, concise visual images, briskly paced and sprinkled with
attention-grabbing graphics will lend support to your spoken words. This leaves your
audience with a positive attitude toward you and your product, service or proposal.
What is Microsoft PowerPoint?
Microsoft PowerPoint is a full-featured desktop presentation program. It is part of
the Office suite. A presentation can be a collection of slides relating to a specific topic, which
may be shown while the topic is discussed or may beshown as a continuous show. From the
presentation slides, handouts, speaker notes, or outlines can also be prepared. PowerPoint
contains graphic tools and many kinds of pictures and graphs to be imported.
PowerPoint is a software program to enhance your oral presentation and to keep the
audience focused on your subject. It operates like an old-fashioned slide show, but uses
modern technology in the form of computers and digital projectors rather than a slide
projector of old.
