I will need to use Information Technology to produce this presentation because of the various programmes or softwares in the ICT subject; these programmes can be expressly useful in showing a good layout of what I want to produce in the which the Powerpoint application is the best option, particularly for this upcoming event called the BCS Women App-a-thon which I am working on. BCS is also called the Chartered Institute of Information Technology which means they specialise in this use of Information Technology.

A variety of communication media can be considered when planning to produce a presentation, for example verbal communication and written communication, each type of communication media has its advantages and limitations. When developing my presentation I decided to use both verbal and written communication, although both communication methods were used I had to ensure that they were used in the correct quantities. To keep my presentation engaging I tried to use as much visual representation as possible limiting the amount of text per slide. I chose to use PowerPoint because of its combination of written and verbal communication (not to mention the cost effectiveness of choosing PowerPoint and simplistic interface); the written aspects included the text on the slides, screenshots and images. The screenshots proved particularly useful as they was of the actual database used in the daily running of the Apprenticeships Store, once paired with the demonstration of inputting data into the database it ensured greater understanding due to more practical learning as opposed to theoretical learning. More detail was provided in my handouts ensuring I didn’t give too much information at once and this allowed the audience to document any supplementary information I said during the presentation, by speaking and interpreting what was on the slides ensured the presentation remained fluid and

A slideshow or power point presentation can create a visual representation for teaching about similarities and differences between adjectives used to describe people. Or showing pictures of characters in a novel will help the students put an image to a written discretion that may not have been able to create with word only. This can also be used for other aspect within a novel like a setting, plot, themes, and symbols to meet the language objectives and the core content objectives.

To make the presentation look professional and attractive, I would be using as many different types of information as possible, such as pictures, charts, sound, videos, tables and of course text and numbers.

Content selection should be abreast with knowledge of audience expected from the scientific presentation. Each slide should be self-contained and must not require external support for understanding. There are two ways to cut down presentation time: Visual is worth a thousand words and helps saving time for explaining in depth details of a project especially numerical data. One should put applicable content on slides because what matters most is the amount of information you caused to be absorbed by attendee. The Q&A is significant, the audience must gain freedom to engage with speaker and ask questions for better perspective of the talk. Contents should reflect critical analysis of evidences supported by research findings. Furthermore, Credibility can be established through what audience perceive by the presenter’s evidence.

If we consider the resource of YouTube videos within PowerPoint, some advantages to its use are:-

* Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide and three to four (3-4) relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, etc.), ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and readable from 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

A PowerPoint presentation is a form of a slide show that can be of much benefit to the aging population because this feature can help with memory and cognition. An elderly individual can fail to recognize simple daily tasks, which is brought on by age cognition disability. Presentations for the aging population are helpful, as some of the pictures illustrated can remind an elderly individual on how to complete a simple task such as sweeping, cooking, and so forth.

Power point presentation design theme is simple and provides the consistent background, which followed standard rule of using contrasting colors for text and background (National Conference of State Legislatures, “n.d.”). The theme does not overthrow the context of the presentation. Standard rule of effective presentation has been followed in this presentation such as including the basic design them, slide numbers, and providing the consistent font color. However, the selected font color of the each slide’s title is red which can distract and mislead the reader. Red font color is utilized mostly in emphasizing information. Therefore, red text on every slide is distracting factor in this case. Through out the presentation, diagrams and related pictures have been included to add the interest to the context. For example, explanation of the

Lucianne Walkovicz used several examples of her own advice from her article “A Non Talk on Giving Talks” in her talk about starlight. Her use of empathy in telling the audience her story of her first sight of starlight as well as using images intended to evoke emotion captivated her audience not only in the beginning but also throughout her talk. In her article “A Non Talk on Giving Talks” she stresses to not make wordy slides, for this causes the audience to choose between listening to the speaker and reading the slide. During her presentation, she did not use words but instead used images to keep the audience’s attention while she spoke. Another rule she stressed in her article was to not use flashy slides or lots of animations. None of

In the traditional education environments, the duty of the students is to adhere the education activities as a passive receiver and memorize the content of the lesson (Surmeli 2007: 30). PowerPoint presentations create more powerful sensory alerts when compared with the traditional education materials (blackboard, overhead projections, etc.)While giving the lessons with PowerPoint presentations, the content of the lesson stays the same, but the form of transmitting the lesson to the student changes. The PowerPoint presentations which are prepared for lessons have the advantages such as having strong colors, gradual building of text, simple animation of diagrams, facilities for simple editing and updating (Lowry 1999:19). Thus it can be mentioned that the PowerPoint presentations provide significant time and force savings. As the popularity of the PowerPoint presentations increase, the studies concerning the pedagogical results of the usage of this tool increase. The advantages of giving lessons with the PowerPoint presentations could be generalized as follows in the light of the academic studies till now:
