Tip: The Slideshare site is for sharing Powerpoint slideshows. It has slideshows on every possible topic, and is great fun to watch in class alongside your students (if you have an internet connection and an IWB). You can also ask students to look at these slideshows for homework. Here, let’s have a look at the topic of ‘how to give a presentation’.
Background
What better way to learn about presentations and making slides than by watching a presentation about making great slides? Try showing any of these to your students:
http://www.slideshare.net/jessedee/steal-this-presentation-5038209
(focus on the slides themselves)
http://www.slideshare.net/satyajeet_02/how-to-make-effective-presentation
(focus on the slides themselves)
http://www.slideshare.net/tltiede/presentation-development-skills-100307-slideshare
(wider focus, long, but very good – best to give this as homework study I think)
