Although most of these suggestions are based on Powerpoint-type platforms, it's interesting to see new things and know what's out there to get creative!

Nothing hidden about these "tips & tricks" - just standard every day library functions. This is not new, most these functions have been used since Win95, the days before we see the net as we do now. Nonetheless, whatever it takes for people to finally catch up and educate themselves about easier searching techniques!

A cautionary note on special effects in PowerPoint: special effects, including music and videos, in a PowerPoint presentation can add energy BUT if not used well, they can be distracting, or worse, appear unprofessional and immature.  When my daughters first started using PPT in middle school, their reports were full of figures dashing in with screeching sounds and words appearing with flashing lights and drum rolls.  I have seen far too many 'grown-ups' add those and a myriad of other special effects as if they were the cure to death by PPT.  (They aren't.)  You may have heard the term 'font abuse' that comes from having so many choices and results in a sense of exploration and new found font freedom that drives restraint out the window.  Don't fall prey to 'special effect abuse' in your enthusiasm.  Some good rules to follow: 1) Draft your ENTIRE presentation before you even put it in PPT. 2) Use special effects ONLY when they reinforce your message, make your idea more understandable or facilitate the flow of the presentation. Remember that a presentation is for your audience, not to entertain yourself or demonstrate your special effects prowess.

a cool trick. easy to use.

Solid, easy suggestions here.  I'm going to have to remember some of them the next time I present!

I heard all of these things at a recent conference! I'd like to add one to the list -- "I don't want to keep boring you." How about you don't bore me at all?

Is it time to dust off the old public speaking textbook and brush up on some speaking skills?

Here is a great tip for adding music to your Google Slides Presentation.

Music always enhances.   Never put too much information on a slide.  That's what talking is for, and I like to keep them up only 10-15 seconds so you keep people's interest.

5 Creative Uses Of PowerPoint Presentations 

I think "death by PowerPoint" is used so often because so many users have not "taken the pains to make a memorable..." presentation and the concept of creativity might not have even been considered. Not totally sure what the answer is, but I do believe that if more individuals could have their eyes opened to the potential that PowerPoint has, we might be able to get passed the "death" issue. That means we have to get the great ideas to the teachers and  their students... not just telling them, but perhaps showing them...

PPT is here to stay. We should learn all of its features and be imaginative in how we use it.

A simple and useful tips-guide (infographic) for your students to present.
