A few "don'ts" for speakers using slides:<br />
• Don't apologize for any equipment or slides. If they are that<br />
poor, do not use them.<br />
• Don't refer to a slide as a slide or picture. For example: "This<br />
slide shows ..." or "This is ..." or "This picture was taken ..."<br />
The audience knows that it is a picture and that they are<br />
watching the screen. Put your message across without these<br />
references.<br />
• Don't wait until the last minute to arrive and assemble your<br />
equipment. It should be done before the crowd arrives. This<br />
gives the impression of organization, interest, professionalism<br />
and efficiency.<br />
• Don't use slides showing information that is not in the script.<br />
• Don't use slides that are irrelevant to the talk or that are poor<br />
examples of the point being discussed.<br />
• Don't use slides containing poor photography caused by<br />
overexposure or poor composition.<br />
• Don't use slides that lack continuity. This results when there is<br />
neither a connection between slides nor a smooth sequence of<br />
thought from one slide to the next.<br />
DO let the audience know if you want them to ask questions during<br />
the performance or if there will be a question period after the<br />
presentation.<br />
