How to Ruin a Presentation with PowerPoint

Legal educators were slow to adopt PowerPoint as a teaching tool, but many law professors and law librarians are now using PowerPoint or other presentation software for teaching and presentations. Unfortunately, as anyone who has attended a legal conference can attest, many of us don't have a clue about how to design effective PowerPoint presentations. The result is distracted audiences, confusing presentations, and ineffective teaching.
This presentation will focus on some of the most common mistakes people make in creating PowerPoint presentations and discuss how to improve your PowerPoint presentations. Almost all of what I say will also be applicable to other presentation software and most of what I say is also applicable to graphics created for videos.
The focus will be on slide design and content, not on the intricacies of PowerPoint. This presentation will not teach you all the magic things PowerPoint can do or make you a power user of PowerPoint. In fact, many of the amazing things PowerPoint can do aren't particularly good for presentations. Instead the presentation will point out the horrors of bad PowerPoint and help you give more effective presentations with a few simple hints.
