TJ Walker mentioned in the video that we should show our slides to who can speak language.I think that it is a quite important element for audience to understand what are we going to convey to them.But we can also add some things like images,charts,graphs,pictures,or cartoons to make our slides more entertaining.We should always face the audience and don't just read the texts inside the slides.If you decided to do your presentation in that way,you did better give them the notes because they can just read and understand by their own.TJ Walker gave an excellent example which was the movie titled James Bond.This movie can become so famous all around the world because of the visuals,actions,motorcycle racing as well as killing.So,we can try to apply these elements into our slide shows because it is a visual communication between the audience and the presenter.

I really enjoy TJ Walker speech about the using of power point in presentation.
Of course, he is a speaking expert but i like the way he delivered his massage very much. All his movement, face, eyes contacts and body language was very smooth and comfortable with him in his speech. About the content of his speech is very nice and he give many good example to make me clear. I hope I will use it in my presentation later. Thank you.

Actually i agree with what TJ has said. It's common for us to include all the details of what we are going to present in our PowerPoint slide. In my own opinion, it's all right for us to include some details in the slide such as the main topic or the thesis statement in the slide so that our audience has a clearer picture of what we are going to deliver. Actually PowerPoint should not be our only strength in our presentation, the strongest element in our presentation should be our own words and gestures.

As a student,we must attend to the speech's programme like the campaign about the study skills,how to manage the time...Majority of these programme will provided with the slide show for the audience.The reason is to make them easly to understand what was the presenter try to present.audience will more interesting to the programme if the screen have some picture or video clip.Also not try to read the screen because it will show your back to the audience.

For me,this video is good for us as a student.The way TJ delivers the info is very good and it is so interesting.His body posture,self-confidence and voice are good enough as a presenter.About the content,powerpoint is one of the medium to deliver the presentation succesfully.Audience will be more interested seeing the pictures and images.Then,we can also give the audience handouts as an extra info to our presentation.

After watching the video,I've learned some useful tips in my preparation for PowerPoint slides. It is important that we shouldn't put bulky/lengthy notes in the slides,as PowerPoint slides is just giving a clearer picture about the content/products in a particular presentation. If you want the audiences to read your slides,it's advisable that you give them some handouts or reading materials..!!
Also,we are using PowerPoint slides to conduct a presentation/discussion, not the reading session. The main thing is we have to talk in our presentation,and the slides are just guiding you that what you need to talk next in your presentation. Add some graphics/cartoons/pictures in your slides to make it more interesting.
Thank You.

BISMILLAH.. PEOPLE NORMALLY CREATE A POWERPOINT SLIDE WITH SO MUCH THINGS TO PUT ON IN EVERY PAGE. POWERPOINT IS NOT A MEDIUM TO PUT ALL THE NOTES AND DATA AS WE CAN DO THAT BY EMAIL, PAPER AND BOOK. POWERPOINT IS A VISUAL MEDIUM WHICH MEAN A GOOD MEDIUM TO PRESENT OUR IDEA VIA IMAGE, OBJECT, CHART AND MORE. A GOOD POWERPOINT COMES WITH ALL THE ELEMENTS STATED NOT ONLY WORDS AND WORDS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SLIDE. IT HELPS TO PREVENT THE SLIDE FROM BECOME BORING. SO THINK OF YOUR POWERPOINT AS THE MEDIUM OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION. MAKE IT BETTER.

understanding the message by just looking to images,visual communication is very important.slide show with cartoons or interesting picture can make our audience more interest to our presentation...

I agree with TJ Walker that too many texts in a slide show is very dull and boring. When we see presentations like that, we tend to lose interest in it. Hence, we are told to cut the words, keep it simple and short. We can also add some animated images to make our presentation look lively. As what TJ Walker has mentioned, visual and action make a movie interesting and catchy.

The slide show should something that interesting which can take people attention. The presented should not make audience to read all the words but only get clear picture about what the presented what to say by looking at the picture on the slide. The slide shows actually the visual medium or the action that translates the slide shows and makes it easier to understand by audience.

Is it using Power Point is bored?.I don't think so.But it can be bored if we use Power Point in the wrong way.TJ Walker said,use Power point to someone does not speaker language.The right ways to using Power Point during presentation is, we should elaborate the point.Do not just read the point.So the audience will get your messages with clearly.We can also add images,charts,graphs,pictures or cartoons on the slide to attract attention from audience and the most important is the audience more understand.

Cut the words!! I strongly agree with TJ!! Too many words in a slide is boring. We must keep it short and simple. Or maybe we should try to transform those words into a picture form. The purpose of power point is to enhance the understanding of the audience and its not to remind us on what to say. The slides that are presented must be short and simple.

I very agree about the idea that given by T.J Walker, an speaking expert which suggest us do not show many words on slide of Microsoft Office PowerPoint during presentation. This is because it will make everyone feel boring after see it. If you want everyone understand and get your message or information, just put the interesting image to attract them such cartoon for kids, diamond for women, and sport car for men.

Powerpoint slide is very good to who cannot pick up what the presenter said.The simple word in our slide can make the audiences understand very well.The slide also can be more attractive.The photo,pictures,cartoon and animation can make audiences attract with the slides.Beside that,when the presenter talk to fast, the audiences can refer to the slides show.It will make more easier to aundiences to catch up the point.

The presenter trying to teach us how to make our presentation more effective.I strongly agree with the presenter say that in order to make our presentation more effective and attractive, putting some graphic,cartoon,image or picture when we using the power point during the presentation is very important.It can let the audience more easier to understand and will not feel bore by just looking the slide show with all the word.Its give me the idea how to present well when using the power point and i believed that it will help me a lot one day.

Dineshkumar (ka09120) said...

I agree with the information given by TJ. Of course, we should not messy up our slide show by putting a lot of information in it. We should use our slide show as a reference. Only the relevant points in the slide show makes our self easier. The explanations should not be written in the slide show rather it must explained by our self. As the audience cannot digest the wording in the slide show very fast, it is not a good way to putting all the information and explanation in the slides.

Reduce the word in our power point can reduce the bored presentation. Attractive visual is more effective rather than long sentence because people do come to hear our speech, not to read the slide. Most of people hate to read from slide. Reading on paper is much good compare to on slide because slide is just the aid to help us giving speech not the slide give the speech for us.

Power point is a visual.From the power point,the speaker must elaborate and explain clearly to the audiences.The speker also can add some pictures,graph,chart and others to make the power points looks interesting.The speaker cannot only read the point .The audiences not only understand the point but must understand the messages.The speaker cannot only read the power point like read the handout...

Actually, what was talking by the speaker is hundred percent true.Almost all of us will put all of the notes onto the slide.So there is no point for us to standing in front of the audience if we plan to read all of the slides.We must try to present the presentation as we present to the stranger.Hence, we need to add graph,pictures, and many more on our presentation in order to make it more attractive and interesting.

What can I see here is the tips in this video have a few similarity with the Don Mcmillan video. Cut the words in the slide show, but that does not mean to make it become too short.In my point of view, if we put a long text on the slide, it can make us reading in presentation. If the information that we want to present is too complicated, so we better provide a supporting pamphlet to audience.

Usually watching power point is so boring.So there is some ways to make our power point to be interesting.Firstly,it is easy for audience to understand our point by using the image or video.For example a graphics,pictures, cartoons and the others.If the power points in the form of writing,do not state all the words or in the others words,just mention the main point.To make it more interesting,add more visual and action in your power points.

after watching the video,
i totally agree on what was tj said.
as we know, when we hear the speech or looking the slides, we are easily to got sleepy. this is not about the status or high position of the speaker but it is about the way they present their slides. most of speaker nowadays are tend to provide a lot of notes on each page of their slides, that's make all the audience feel so bored. in order to got the attention of audience, the speaker should put a lot of imagery part than a word part. this is because, a normal human are ikely to see a something that's interested to them such as a picture and etc.
that's all, thank you and arigato....

TJ Walker is a very good presenter. His presentation is very interesting. About the topic he is talking about, I totally agree with his point. Many people likes to tranfer all the point he want to talk during the presentation in their powerpoint slides.I think that the simple in point form sentence with grafic or animination figure or table slide show will be more attract attention of the audience the long and bored essay form slide show.A good presenter should know what they want to talk about during the presentation and will not depands on the slides show. Powerpoint slides show is just for audience more understand the main content of the presentation only!

sparthiban89 (KA09151) said...

For this topic, I agree and having same opinion with T J Walker. We should minimize using words when we using Microsoft Power Point. The visual medium is very effective in Power Point. If you want elaborate something with words, just use the Microsoft Word. Do not use Power Point.The audience should imagine themself by looking the pictures. Power Point also help the audience to increase imagination power.

This person is about to talk about how to use power point in the right ways. He said, if we want to use power point, use an images such as chart, picture, cartoon, and many more to explain something and not by words. He said visual is important to send a message to everyone.

Lieynn (KA09156) said...

i don’t think this thing of TJ said, is wrong. People always write all of their point in their power point slide during presentation. Even their supportig points, full story or anything that were not important. It is so boring. People will feel tired and boring to read it. It is like, there’s no use the presence of the speaker or presenter. Peole will fell sleepy and finally falls asleep. Quiet sad seeing people don’t give teir attention to our presentation.
