Google Presentation Tips


  • KEEP IT SIMPLE  (The slides themselves should not be the star of the show)
  • LIMIT BULLET POINTS AND TEXT  (Sorry I missed your presentation. I hear it was great. Can you just send me your PowerPoint slides?” But if they are good slides, they will be of little use without you)
  • USE HIGH QUALITY IMAGES (Limit Clip Art, depending on purpose of your presentation, avoid stretching out low resolution pics)
  • LIMIT ANIMINATION (Becomes a distraction)
  • USE APPROPRIATE CHARTS
  • USE COLOUR WELL
  • CHOOSE APPROPRIATE FONTS (Regardless of what font you choose, make sure the text can be read from the back of the room, limit the number of font selections)



What do you think of these slides?
