027 PowerPoint presentation tips for students | Designing effective visual aids

In this video, I will show you some tips to make an effective PowerPoint presentation. When we use PowerPoint as a visual aid in our presentation, our task usually seems easier. However, if we do not use PowerPoint properly, or if we rely too much on it, the PowerPoint slides may also become a distraction, and even prevent us to make a great presentation.
First, Let’s make it clear what are the top purposes for using PowerPoint in our presentation. Usually there are two top purposes. The first purpose is to help the audience to visualize our ideas. The second purpose is to remind the audience of our key points. In order to make an effective PowerPoint presentation, we should always keep in mind that the purpose of visualizing is much more important than the purpose of reminding. Helping the audience to visualize our key ideas, is the best way to make our presentation more impressive and influential. If we make PowerPoint slides just to remind the audience of our key points using text, we waste much of the power from the PowerPoint, our PowerPoint will lose most of its power.

可以重新写一下6x6 法则么？我有没有听懂的单词在里面

[@DrLiuResearchTIPS]

We want to use key words only, instead of full sentences, unless for a word for word quote. There is a 6 by 6 rule when presenting bullet points. That is, 6 rows and 6 words in each row in maximum. That is because most human brain can only handle 6 words in one quick glance. If more than 6 words, people will have to start to read, and then their attention is on the slides but not the speaker. To follow this 6 by 6 rule, we need to learn to summarize our key ideas in a highly generalized, or highly refined manner.
