PowerPoint 101

A workshop presented to the Presbytery of Mackinac, April 26, 2008

Free liturgical graphics can be found at sundaygraphx.blogspot.com

Free alternatives to PowerPoint are www.openoffice.org (presentation) and docs.google.com


Prepare the Presentation

  1. Determine the purpose of the presentation
    • Information
    • Entertainment
    • Worship
    • Education/Training
       
  2. Determine who the audience is

Tips for Content

  • Create an outline of information
  • Summarize points
    • and subpoints!
  • Include CCLI license # and song number for each song projected
  • Site sources (just like you would do in a written report)

  • Spice up the Presentation

    • Graphics only to enhance the message
    • Animations take time, a self-play presentation will be longer with more animations.
    • Schemes and background images
    • sundaygraphx.blogspot.com is a great website for free liturgical backgrounds

    Preview Checklist

  • Timing – use “Rehearse Timings” feature to help with self-play presentations. Recruit someone to help.
  • Font Size – larger is always better
  • Colors – sometimes simpler is better. ‘White on black’ or ‘black on white’ is more viewable in a brightly or poorly lit area.
  • Preview - run the whole presentation in the facility before showing it to a live audience.

  • Autorun CD
