Slideshows - Google Slides, PowerPoint, Keynote, etc.
YOU are the star of your presentation. The slideshow is just an aid. Think about how you can use visuals, video, and sound to supplement you as the speaker. Your slideshow shouldn't make sense all on it's own. People should be able to get an idea of your topic, but all the details and information comes from your TALK.
Good slide presentations are not only useful for this class. You will be doing presentations of some sort or other for the rest of your life. Use these principles in all your presentations for all your classes. Help me look good :) -- the other teachers notice!

From Erik Palmer's book Well Spoken:
How a speech is performed may be more important than how it is built. If the speaker cannot deliver the speech well, no one will ever notice how well it was written. As Chris Witt points out, ‘Knowledge isn't power; communicating knowledge is” (2009, 5). The most brilliant ideas are worthless if the speaker can't deliver them.

Templates
Design templates contain color schemes, slide and title masters with custom formatting, and styled fonts designed for a particular "look." When you apply a design template to your presentation, the slide master and color scheme of the new tamplate replace the slide master and color scheme of the original presentation.

- Animation, audio video clarifies things - not distracting
- Beginning, middle, and end to the presentation
- Contrast on the slides draws attention to them and clarifies information

- Every item on slide is connected to another item
- USE SPEAKER NOTES
