 * Tips**
 * Students should have the majority of their information and research completed.
 * Pick a theme to try and put in a few slides of information.
 * View the presentation and decide on changes for your theme.
 * Select another theme or modify the current one with the Slide Master.
 * All formatting changes for a presentation should be done in the Slide Master. Changes to a slide should be minimal.


 * When designing PowerPoint presentation consider:**
 * Audience
 * Purpose
 * Room Lighting (light background with dark writing is most reliable)
 * "Less is more" - good design does not need a lot of "bells and whistles"
 * Learn the rules so you know when to break them. Students should have time to explore and stretch their knowledge.
