Presentation Skills

Powerpoint are very populary used by all types of people because of its ability to present information in a more detailed way. Powerpoint has the ability to take all kinds of information and organize it so that it looks interesting and understanding to learn. Powerpoint makes learning new information more interesting with the pictures, sound, colors, designs that you can use. But you have to carefully use them to get the best advantage, because if you add too much it can be really distracting and make take away from the presentation. You also have to be aware of your auidence when it comes to making an a presentation. Your presentation has to be appropriate for your viewers. For example, if your audience consists of 5 year olds you can add an appropriate amount of animations and sounds to grab a hold of their attention. But if your audience consists of Business Men, you can't do too much of that because you have to make it simple and not to flashy or noisy. You have to base your presentation based on your audience.

But finding which formula to use and actually solving the problem takes time, but you can use Excel and it will help make your life more easier. Formulas are used for calculating numbers, both big and small. Excel already has built in formulas in the program, all you have to do is plug in the numbers and everything is taken care of. If formulas were not created, finding out the square root of a number that is not perfect will take a lot of time and patience.

You can use any of these type of charts if they go hand in hand with your present data. Charts, graphs and diagrams are also used to analyze and compare data visually.

I would go off and survey 100 studenst from each grade in HHS. After i get my results, i would take my data and put it in a Pie Graph.
