Sounds like it would be tough to do. Wahi, never heard that tip, but I’ll try it next time I put a presentation together. Sounds like it would be tough to do.

A very interesting chap he is :D. He is a ppt freak. He loves to do loads of them. I mean, he asks us students to do loads of them. However, there is one very important point, if not anything, I took from his class that I still hold dear. "Each one of your slide should be able to stand up for itself." This means, should you print out your presentation and a page happens to fall off, a person picking it up should be able to understand what you are trying to tell, in that one page, if not 100%, 90%. Pretty brilliant. Adding on to the point mentioned by you, use as much graphics as necessary(charts or even cartoons). “don’t fill the slide with words”

Hope 2008 is off to a roaring start. Unfortunately I've spent less time on Teaching Sells than I ought to, but this BBP find was worth the price all by itself. Joanna, nice to hear from you.

I came across the idea a year ago when I was looking into storyboarding (in relation to ways of thinking of life as a story... which is a whole different topic) and found the guy's site and template, but never got round to reading the book (how typical of me!) I'm glad you found it so valuable. Hope you're well... Joanna Hi Brad, I”m glad to see you’re keeping up with your teaching sells learning!
