 History of Power Point
• Microsoft Office PowerPoint was originally
developed by Bob Gaskins and software
developer Dennis Austin under the name
Presenter for Forethought. Microsoft
Corporation purchased Forethought and its
PowerPoint software product for $14 million on
July 31, 1987. In 1990 the first Windows
versions were produced for Windows 3.0. Since
1990, PowerPoint has been included in
Microsoft Office suite of applications -- except for
the Basic Editions of the suite.

 PowerPoint
Presentations:
should create
Design, Content & Delivery

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 3
 Important part in Power
Point is Content
• The most important part of any
presentation is the content, not
the graphical appeal. That is
why you should develop your
presentation with the content
first, before deciding on the
look (colours, graphics, etc.)
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 4
 Learn the Basics with interaction
with other Friends who are familiar
• For the presentation, just make changes to
the default slides that PowerPoint gave us
with the AutoContent Wizard. In the
beginning learn to be familiar with
• How to change the titles of slides
• How to change fonts and font sizes
• How to add a bulleted list
• How to delete slides
• How to add a new slide

As well as the standard
menu option for things
like opening files, saving
your work, creating new

all the PowerPoint tools
can be found. You'll meet
lots of these menu
options as we go along.

 Outlines
• Outlines
This shows you an Outline
of your presentation. The
headings next to the
numbers are taken from the
title of a particular slide.
Change the title and you
change the heading in the
Outline view. There's also a
bullet list of other text on
your slide. The Outline is so
that you can quickly see
what an individual slide is all
about.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 44
• Common Problem:

Too much writing

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 45
 & writing Too small
• It was one of those summery days when the air is heavy
and warm and nobody wants to do very much.
Jonathan and Robbit were resting on top of one of
Moley's hummocks, relaxing and watching the rest of the
world go by. Jonathan could feel the sun's warmth
through his shell and it was making him feel comfortable
and drowsy. He wriggled contentedly. Last night, before
he'd gone to bed, Jonathan had taken off his shell and
given it a special polish, and this morning it gleamed in
the sunlight. Beside him on the soft warm molehill,
Robbit lay on his back, his paws behind his head, gazing
up at the clear blue sky, thinking about things in his own
rabbity way.
• "Why do nettles have stings?" He asked suddenly
• Jonathan had just begun to doze off, and woke with a
start Dr.T.V.Rao MD 46
• "Why do nettles have what?" He asked, not quite awake.

Draw on the screen during
a presentation
• Press the Ctrl-P key combination
to display a pen on the screen.
Then, using the left mouse button,
draw on the slide as you wish. To
erase what you have drawn,
press the E key. To hide pen,
press the A key or the Ctrl-H key
combination. Dr.T.V.Rao MD 52

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 54
 Keep It Simple (Transition)
• This transition is annoying, not enhancing

• "Appear" and "Disappear" are better

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 55
 Keep Simple Animations
Animation distract the students away
from Teacher

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 56
 Make It Clear (Fonts)
• Serif fonts are difficult to read on screen
• Sanserif fonts are clearer
• Italics are difficult to read on screen
• Normal or bold fonts are clearer
• Underlines may signify hyperlinks
• Instead, use colours to emphasise

 Common Mistake:
• People tend to put every word
they are going to say on their
PowerPoint slides. Although this
eliminates the need to memorise
your talk, ultimately this makes
your slides crowded, wordy, and
boring. You will lose your
audience's attention before you
even reach the bottom of
your.... SLIDE
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 60
 Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or
difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the background
that you use
 Pros of Power Point
Teaching
• PowerPoint is easy for
Teachers to update,
saving them time and
energy. It's neat and
clean, and it allows for
"portability" of materials.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 62
 Updating and Sharing
• Teachers can take slides
from one lecture, update
them, include them in
another lecture,
Share them with
colleagues or students ?
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 63
 Pros ……
• It also provides a platform
for incorporating a variety of
different kinds of multi-
media file-types: images,
video, audio, and
animations.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 64
 Cons in power point
Teaching
• There are also drawbacks to
using PowerPoint as a teaching
tool. PowerPoint, when used
incorrectly, can encourage
student (and teacher) passivity by
discouraging interaction between
them.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 65
 Cons …
• Teachers often overload slides
with information, forcing them to
move through the material too
quickly while overwhelming
students with details. This can
sometimes discourage students
and lead them to stop listening to
the lecture altogether

 In Summary
• Big
• Simple
• Clear
• Progressive
• Consistent

Dr.T.V.Rao MD 68
 Some Final Words
• Communication is the key
• Text to support the communication
• Pictures to simplify complex concepts
• Animations for complex relationships
• Visuals to support, not to distract
• Sounds only when absolutely
necessary
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 69
 Final Tip

•W for White,
B for Black.
•Black and white is
the Best
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 70
 Colors are not really Colorful

• For teaching to Bigger masses

avoid colored fonts

• The spectrum of colors is wide

• The Black and White is accepted
by every human psychology
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 71
 Copying from Internet
• Several PowerPoint documents are
available,
• Donot download from unfamiliar Internet
sites, carries spyware,malware
• If you donot have Antiviral programme
update at the earliest
• Many documents may not suit you major
needs
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 72
 Hyperlinks are Useful
and Harmful
• In 1990 the first Windows versions were
produced for Windows 3.0. Since 1990,
PowerPoint has been included in Microsoft
Office suite of applications -- except for the
Basic Editions of the suite.
• The blue colored letters copied
from Internet carries hyperlinks
if connected to Internet
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 73
 Never Edit Your Teaching
Text Without Spell Check
• Spell check is the important
component of any text
presentation
• Many spelling mistakes
weaken your strengths in
teaching
• Still we make ?
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 74
 Your articles are watched
Globally If Uploaded
• Several search engines crawl on your site
• www.googlebot.com
• You are watched
• Think twice before putting you material
on the Internet.
• If it contains information useful to others,
you can have several friends in the
Scientific circle around the Globe

Presentations
PowerPoint presentations cannot
make good teachers
Good teachers can make better
PowerPoint presentation
IN spite of all technologies no
SUBSTITUE to a Competent and
Dedicated Teacher
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 79
 Conclusion
Use an effective and strong closing
Your audience is likely to remember
your last words
Use a conclusion slide to:
Summarize the main points of your
presentation
Suggest future avenues of research, and
