How to effectively present in English in the 21st Century

Here’s a trick you can use to help you plan your next presentation. In both PowerPoint and Keynote there is a view mode that enables you to see all your slides side by side. In Keynote the view is called “Light Table”

Keynote’s Light Table view

PowerPoint’s “slide Sorter”s view

In this sample you can easily view all your slides in one screen. This enables you to move slides around, create your story and do some editing.

You can also use this view to plan your presentation by placing your different parts in the view first. Then add a number of blank slides for each part.

This is very useful once you have written out your outline with pen and paper and you have reached the stage where you want to build your slides. It helps you to maintain your theme, and coordinate your story.

I hope this proves useful to you all when you next plan a presentation.
