Choosing the Chunks

More than a few presentation software packages have “wizards” that will guide you through your first presentation.

  • use the tool that is appropriate for the job: wizards are good at helping some people organize their thoughts

  • do not let the tool take over your presentation

  • time spent on making a fancy slide show is time that you have not spent preparing the content

I am a visual thinker. I create lots of slides and then decide what order they need to go in. I also draw lots of pictures when I'm planning.
