Power Points Dos Donts

• DO use text to show main topics or points of
  emphasis
• DONT enter large amounts of texts that forces
  the participants of your discussion to be forced
  to read the text on the screen and take notes.
  Reading off of a PowerPoint is as bad as reading
  your lecture on paper. No one wants to see the
  top of your head or to have to read your
  paragraphs.
