Powerpoint info session

After reading the Powerpoint tips, there are several points I agree with and some I don't. I believe that powerpoints are meant to be short and to the point while incorporating entertainment and keeping the audience engaged. I dont find anything wrong with usuing cheesy clipart, sometimes these are used to prove a point.
The recommendations for Faculty on Powerpoint was very interesting. It presented several flaws and how to correct them. Having a background that not simple doesnt really make the text harder to read. The presenter should just take time and corrdinate the colors so they are visible. Sometimes the background that are pictures present a mood for the presentation.

Now the 5 essential tips:
-Keep the data short and to the point
-dont let the powerpoint take over your presentation, the audience should be listening to what you are saying
-its not necessary to read your slide, we are all literate!
-dont go overboard with pictures and animations, those are just a plus. pay more attention to what you are going to say
-color corrdination, make should everything is visible and the color them flows.
