Most of us know how to operate these machines, but fewer people actually know how computers work on the inside, let alone how to write or use code. In the foreseeable future, computers and coding will have an increasing presence in our lives and in the workforce. In order to prepare today’s youth to become tomorrow’s technology innovators, we can start with teaching them how to think in code. This type of thinking is called “computational thinking.”</font></span></p>

I would bet that you have! We’ve all seen it: the presenter has crammed whole paragraphs of information onto each slide and reads them verbatim from the computer or (even worse) the projection screen. You probably think to yourself: “Why am I even here? I could just read this myself!” Maybe you’ve also been the presenter, at a loss for how to effectively use Powerpoint to keep your audience engaged. Fret not, because there are plenty of ways to make your presentations unique, fun, and engaging.</font></span></p>

Many presenters make errors like using distracting special effects, clipart, templates that don’t match their idea, too-small font, too much text, and rely too heavily on reading from the screen. <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3174058&ymlink=186114410&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch%2Eebscohost%2Ecom%2Flogin%2Easpx%3Fdirect%3Dtrue%26db%3Df5h%26AN%3D94281691%26site%3Dehost%2Dlive">Powerpoint should be a presentation enhancement</a>, not the presentation itself. It is important to not let the slides do all the work and instead have a speech prepared that the slides simply support with bullet points or short phrases and graphics. Reading from slides is bad for audience engagement and retention of information!</font></span></p>
