II INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
.
We can all agree that technology has significantly impacted our lives. It affects
all facets of it. We utilize technology in our work, personal, and educational life.
Technology has also played a significant part in written and verbal communication.
More advantages than some could have ever imagined have sprung from it.
Technology has developed steadily throughout time. We can communicate in a way
that people in the past could never have imagined because of its constant changes
and advancements. If you're a student, a company owner, a public speaker, a
speechwriter, or anybody, you probably appreciate how far technology has come.

Technology has made communication possible in amazing ways. We have a
plethora of resources at our disposal to enhance communication.

ORAL PRESENTATION

Effective verbal communication may be achieved through oral presentations, which

sometimes include slides. You must refrain from reading your presentation from your
slides; slides should support your points, not take the place of your spoken words.
The audience involvement is diminished when presenters type out their talks on
slides or list every point they want to make. You won't make an impactful
presentation if your head is constantly focused on your slides or your laptop.

One of the most prevalent types of tasks in college courses is the oral presentation.
To share the new information they generate, academics, professionals, and students
from all areas frequently give oral presentations in front of audiences in classrooms,
conferences, public lectures, and business meetings. As a result, developing the
ability to provide compelling presentations is essential for success in college and
other activities.

BENEFITS OF AN EFFECTIVE POWERPOINT

Whether you use it for educational or business purposes, an effective PowerPoint can
provide several benefits, which include:

1. Aid for visual learners: When you make a PowerPoint, you provide your
audience with a visual help or component to go along with your speech.
Making a PowerPoint fits the needs of those who learn best when presented
visually, since some individuals may find it easier to retain knowledge this
way.

2. More impactful and attractive presentation: You may integrate visuals,

audio, and video components in a PowerPoint presentation to facilitate
2|SDO MASBATE PROVINCE_TLE/STE_Grade7_Q1_W1
 audience interaction and help them understand your ideas more quickly. They
could also leave a stronger impression on your viewers.

3. Point of reference: A PowerPoint gives you a visual aid to focus on during your
presentation. You can aim to maintain eye contact with your audience, but you can
easily refer back to the PowerPoint as needed for notes.

PREPARING AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION

Giving information while standing up is not the only component of a good
presentation. When presenting information to an audience, one needs to think about
the most effective way to do it. Make an engaging and educational presentation by
using these pointers:

1. Organize your thoughts. Create a solid transition between each part by

starting with an outline. Stress the practical implications of your findings.

2. Have a strong opening. Why ought the audience to pay attention to you?
Whether or not you anticipate a response, asking a question is an excellent
method to get their attention.

3. Define terms early. Introduce any words that the audience might not be
familiar with early in the presentation. Regaining an audience's focus is quite
challenging after they become bogged down in foreign vocabulary.

4. Finish with a bang. Choose one or two phrases that best capture the
significance of your findings. How has what you done made the world a better
place?

5. Design PowerPoint slides to introduce important information. Think

about presenting without using PowerPoint. Next, decide which points you just
must make via slides. Make just the slides that are required to enhance your
audience's communication.

3|SDO MASBATE PROVINCE_TLE/STE_Grade7_Q1_W1

 6. Time yourself. Don't leave timing your presentation till the last minute. You
want to know as soon as possible if you are going to be speaking for the
allotted fifteen minutes.

7. Create effective. Take personal notes. Make sure you have readable notes.
Use an outline or other quick reminders of what you want to say instead of
writing out your full speech. Ensure that the text is readable from a distance
by making it sufficiently big.

8. Practice, practice, practice. You will feel more at ease in front of an

audience the more you rehearse your presentation. Get comments from a
friend or two after you practice in front of them. Put yourself on tape and give
it a critical listen. Improve it and repeat the process.

POWERPOINT TIPS
One of the best tools for making presentations is Microsoft PowerPoint. It's a tool
that's occasionally not utilized to its full potential. Use these pointers to improve your
PowerPoint presentation if you're using it:

1. Use a large font. As a general rule, avoid text smaller than 24 point.

2. Use a clean typeface. Sans serif typefaces, such as Arial, are generally
easier to read on a screen than serif typefaces, such as Times New Roman.

3. Use bullet points, not complete sentences. What you are expressing is
outlined in the text on your slide. The audience has no incentive to listen to
you if your presentation is contained entirely on your slides. Six bulleted items
and no more than seven words for each item is the 6/7 rule, which is a widely
accepted norm.

4. Use contrasting colors. Employ either a light text on a dark backdrop or a

dark text on a light background. Steer clear of color combinations that have

4|SDO MASBATE PROVINCE_TLE/STE_Grade7_Q1_W1

 comparable hues. Since red-green pairings are the most prevalent cause of
color blindness, stay away from them.

5. Use minimal colors and fonts. A PowerPoint that works well looks
consistent. To make the presentation appear more professional, limit the
number of typefaces and colors to no more than two or three.

6. Align your objects. Make sure that everything is positioned correctly to give
your PowerPoint a more professional and organized look. Although you may
accomplish this manually, employing the features in your software allows for
more precision. For instance, pick both items and press and hold the "Shift"
key to align them. Next, click "Arrange" and pick the desired alignment type.

7. Use the appropriate chart. If you have numerical data that works well in a
graphical style, make sure you select the appropriate type of chart. Here are
some charts to consider including in your presentation.

8. Use high-quality images and graphics. To improve your presentation, you

may snap your photos or utilize professional, copyright-free stock
photography. Choose photos with high resolution so that they retain clarity
when you resize them to add to your presentation slides.

9. Change the template design. Instead of utilizing a pre-made PowerPoint

template, personalize it to match your needs. To help distinguish it from other
templates, experiment with different fonts, colors, and designs. Consider the
topic of your presentation to ensure that the design you chose complements
it.

10. Use special effects sparingly. Using animations, cool transition effects,
sounds, and other special effects is an effective way to make sure the
audience notices your slides. Unfortunately, that means that they are not
listening to what you are saying. Use special effects only when they are
necessary to make a point.

PRESENTING EFFECTIVELY
The audience will be interested in what you say as you begin your presentation. Use
the following suggestions to keep people interested during your presentation:

1. Be excited. You're discussing something intriguing. If you remember to be

excited, your audience will sense it and become more engaged.

2. Speak with confidence. When you talk, you are the expert on your subject
but don't claim to know everything. Admit when you don't know the answer to
a question. Consider postponing the question to your mentor or offering to
investigate more.

3. Make eye contact with the audience. Your goal is to communicate with your
audience, and people will pay greater attention if they believe you are
speaking directly to them. Allow your gaze to settle on one individual for many
seconds before moving on to another while you talk. You don't have to
establish eye contact with everyone, but make sure you connect with
everyone in the room.

4. Avoid reading from the screen. For starters, reading from a screen prevents
you from making eye contact with your audience. Second, you put it on your
slide because you want them to read it and not because you want them to
read it.

5. Blank the screen when a slide is unnecessary. A slide that is unrelated to

what you are discussing may distract the audience. When you press the letter
B or the period key, a blank screen appears, allowing your audience to focus
exclusively on your words. To restore the display, press the same key again.

6. Use a pointer only when necessary. Remember to turn off your laser
pointer until you need to highlight something on the screen.

6|SDO MASBATE PROVINCE_TLE/STE_Grade7_Q1_W1

 7. Explain your equations and graphs. Give a thorough explanation of the
equations you show. Make note of every constant as well as the independent
and dependent variables. Explain how the graphics you use support your
arguments. Describe the x- and y-axes and illustrate the graph's left-to-right
progression.

8. Pause. Your presentation gains audible structure via pauses. They make
transitions clear, highlight crucial information, and provide the audience time
to go through new slides and catch up between ideas. Speakers usually
perceive pauses as considerably longer than listeners do. Practice carefully
and discreetly counting to three in between points.

9. Avoid filler words. Um, like, you know, and many others. To an audience,
these are indications that you do not know what to say; you sound
uncomfortable, so they start to feel uncomfortable as well. Speak slowly
enough that you can collect your thoughts before moving ahead. If you do not
know what to say, pause silently until you do.

10. Relax. It is hard to relax when you are nervous, but your audience will be
much more comfortable if you are too.

11. Breathe. It's acceptable to feel uneasy. All competent speakers experience
anxiety whenever they stand in front of an audience. Apart from practicing a
lot beforehand, the best strategy to manage your nervousness is to maintain
your breathing deep during your presentation.

12. Acknowledge the people who supported your research. Make sure to
express your gratitude to everyone who helped make your study feasible,
such as your research team, collaborators, mentor, and other funding and
support sources.

13. You may grow your network of contacts with people who are interested in the
same academic topics by sharing your work. Presenting may be a very

7|SDO MASBATE PROVINCE_TLE/STE_Grade7_Q1_W1

 beneficial experience for undergraduate researchers hoping to finish their
graduate degree. We advise you to speak with your academic adviser about
your desire to share your findings. They can assist in matching the right
location with your interests.

 5. Use a dark text on a light background or a light text on a dark background.
6. When you are speaking, you don’t have authority on your topic but do not pretend

something on the screen.
