So when I return from Holiday break, I'm required to have a powerpoint presentation ready for a class. my question isn't so much about how to design a PowerPoint, it's more about presenting it and appearing able.
I'm totally blind. I'm wondering how those of you who have done power point presentations have dealt with this. By this I mean, navigating slides and keeping the flow of a presentation. I feel that I'm usually a pretty good presenter, but I'm worried this PowerPoint will hold me back in terms of getting my ideas across. But I understand that PowerPoints are helpful to visual learners, so I'd like to master it now before i go into college where I'm sure they'll be required all of the time.
So I'm just asking for advice, experiences, anything. Thanks!
There is a tutorial on Jaws and Powerpoint on Freedom Scientiic's web site. I can look up the url for you if you can't find it, but it is under "training materials" or something like that.
Just memorize your slides, practice your presentation, put little onthe slides, do not put text, just point, else you enter the "death by powerpoint" category, which is boring.
If you can, emboss the Powerpoint slides and have the braille copy handy (in my experience, I prefer t emboss just on one side of the paper for PP stuff so I can read it all with my right hand, not worrying about the other side of the page, may be it's just me).
