Effective Presentations – Some useful advice…

Some very useful advice from Danny Nicholson’s ‘The Whiteboard Blog’.  Click on the link below to open the presentation…

http://www.whiteboardblog.co.uk/2008/04/effective-presentations.html 

Danny writes… “The presentation covers some of the advice I give to teachers when using PowerPoint or Interactive Whiteboard software such as Smart Notebook or ActivStudio.

It’s amazing how many teachers never check the IWB resources they make to see if they can actually be read from the back of their classroom. Often the text is too small, the background too busy and the colour combinations very bad.

This quick guide should help…”

Tablet PC animation software launched

Tablet PC animation software launched

The University of Washington human computer interaction and design centre have launched a new, simple to use animation application for Tablet PCs. Making use of the touch sensitive screens used in Tablet PCs, K-Sketch allows users to draw simple pictures and then create motion paths to create animations. The freeware application is intended to aid presentation and education by allowing presenters to quickly create simple rough animated explanations of concepts in response to questions.http://www.cs.washington.edu/
