PowerPoint

I am very familiar with PowerPoint and the different features that can make any presentation more entertaining and informational. I was using an older version of PowerPoint though and it meant that my choices regarding the designs and colors and formats were very limited. I had become quite bored with them. Once I started using the updated version of PowerPoint I was very excited to see the different designs and formatting options. 

I also think it is quite helpful to incorporate hyperlinks into the presentation to make it more interactive and allow for you as the presenter to easily access material on the internet related to your topic that you wish to share. I am unsure how to use hyperlinks in order to go to other parts of the PowerPoint presentation but I feel as though this could be a very helpful tool. 

The "do's and don't's" that was in the class PowerPoint was a very helpful reminder of the key aspects and formatting of PowerPoint that can help any presenter excel in their display. PowerPoint should be used as a presentation tool and guideline, it should not be overly filled with information that may overwhelm your audience. I particularly liked the idea of picking a light colored background with dark font too keep your audience awake and more actively involved compared to using a darker background that could allow for your audience to start to snooze more easily.
