My three favorite Powerpoint presentations were made by Spencer Lane, Xin Ma, and Mary-Alice Brown.
I thought Spencer Lane added something interesting to his powerpoint with the obnoxious noises. They were fun to laugh at and made the presentation most enjoyable! Aslo Xin Ma I thought had some nice bad things like the random drawings that overlapped the text on the screen. Additionally, Mary-Alice Brown used steps to organize her powerpoint but then mixed them up to create a 'bad powerpoint'. This was very clever.
Here are a few things that make a GOOD slideshow
1.) Consistency
It's important to have consistency in your powerpoint. Consistency through backgrounds and fonts
2.) Imagry
A good powerpoint will have some good visual representation. Too much clipart can be distracting but without any you might as well just hand out a sheet of paper.
3.) Clear and Consise Flow of Points
You should be using a powerpoint to aide your speech, so like a speech a powerpoint should flow.
4.) Use a bibliography
Just like in a paper you must cite your sources.
5.) Title and End Page
Like a paper that need an introduction and conclusion your powerpoint needs a title page and an end page

Alexandra,
Your presentation was very clever (no title page etc.) and entertaining. Great job.

Alexandra, I thought your lack of a title page was pretty clever. I think you made several solid points and did a good job illustrating them. Excellent.
You had really good visual examples to go along with your textual examples. I liked the absence of the title page.

Nice job on the information in the powerpoint as well as the pictures. You did a good job.
