Summary:
Today there are many tools to make your presentation more effective. One of these tools is Microsoft powerpoint. Most of a time when people are presenting something on powerpoint you will get bored and you don't want to listen to their presention. All you really look at is the back ground and the pictures on that presention. All the powerpoint today are getting boring because of the same pattern and typing stuff. They are 5 mistakes most of the people make in their presention.
First: A typical slide has a linear layout- sometimes the audience know what to expect to see on each presention , so you have to catch your audience's eye, and you have to try to avoid the regular linear stuff you used before.
second: Never write about what you are about to say on the slide , because the audience can even see and read the presention even faster than us, so try to read or explain what your about to read on the slide.
Third: Make sure you can control the audience and if they asked questions, answer them all and give them questions to answer , so you will know if they were listening or not.
fourth: The limit of each slide is from 30 to 60 second with few expecting.
Fifth: review all the thing you done reading so far in a summary and try to make it as simple as possible.

The second Article will be added shortly.
