Power Point

Here are the tips to do in a really bad Power Point Presentation

-Text Don't use a lot otherwise the audience will not pay attention to your presentation because they will be reading.

-Color don't use really bright colors . The color of the font should not blend in with the color in the background

-Size Use a size that it is possible to be seen. Don't use a really small size.

-Animation Using animation is good. But using too much of it just a distraction.

-Font Make sure to use a font that is easy to read.

-Pictures Use pictures that are related with the theme, always cite the source that you got them from.

-Sounds some times they are just annoying so if you will use it make sure you really need it.

The three power points I like the most were
Miti's I like the ironic
Spencer's Concise
Kealey's Organized

Copy right

Whenever I want to use some pictures or information I have to cite the source I get the picture from. If I want to use this information in a long term it means I have time to ask for permission to the creator, But If I need to use it immediately I don't have to obtain the permission. Under the fair use clause: students,teachers and reporters can use information they come about spontaneously without citing for a period of time. The most common ways to cite sources are, at the bottom of the page and using a small caption under the picture; giving credit to the original photographer. I will not need to cite if it is in the public domain, which happens when I get the photos from a free website.
