Step by step explanation & showing changing
relationships
Simple symbols, cards, cutouts used in proper
sequence
Color provides emphasis & attraction
Actual
laboratory
procedures
using real
equipment &
instrument
Real Objects
Models
Three dimensional concept
Permits close examination, learning & practice
Can demonstrate functions & construction
Used for self learning / instruction
Expensive, easily damaged, not real life & only for
small group
Useful when actual specimen unavailable
Projected medium
Overhead Projector
Over Head Projector
Systematic, sequential information
< 8 words per line, 8-10 lines/ sheet
1” margin on all four sides

Avoid Text Overload
Having too much text on the screen can defeat the purpose of
using Power Point. The slides begin to look like a jumble of
text, making slides difficult to read and unrecognizable from
each other.
Many people tend to put every word they are going to say on
their PowerPoint slides. Although this eliminates the need to
memorize your talk, ultimately this makes your slides
crowded, wordy and boring. You will lose your audience's
attention before you even reach the bottom of your…
People will either try to read everything or copy everything
down or they will lose interest . List only the key points. If
you have more info to include use more slides or create
handouts.
Fonts
Employ a few …. Stick to familiar fonts
Stay away from gimmicky fonts
Keep type sizes consistent
Use bold to make some words to stand out
Font size easily readable 36 pt
