Let's talk about slides
I prepare a PowerPoint presentation at home
and wonder how I can use the presentation to help you, the audience, concentrate
and then I put up a slide like this, jam-packed with words and verbiage
Keep in mind that what actually happens is that while I'm talking I'm competing with the slide
Instead of the slide making you, the audience, concentrate and focus on what I'm saying
you debate whether to look at the slide or to look at me
This type of illustrative slide is preferable
It conveys the gist of what I'm saying now
and serves as a sort of illustration, an indication of sorts
an abstract reflection of the concrete concept I am trying to convey to you
Good luck
