Bad PowerPoint

All of the bad PowerPoints were so bad they ended up being funny. The ones that I liked the most were Mary's, because of the steps that weren't in order; Jake's, because it was extremely short; and Nicole's, because of the font she used for her presentation.

Things to do in a PowerPoint presentation:
- Have only the necessary information
- Add a few, appropriate images
- Use a font size large enough for everyone to read
- Make sure the color of the font can be seen
- Check your spelling and grammar
- Use animations that do not distract the audience

Things not to do in a PowerPoint presentation:
- Overwhelm the audience with a lot of information
- Distract the audience with a lot of images and animations
- Have a small font with illegible font color
- Have spelling and grammar mistakes
- Bore your audience

Copyright

Copyright is a very serious and complex issue. It was first created in 1790, and it stated that a piece of work had copyright for 14 years. That has now extended to the author’s life plus 75 years. Whenever and author produces some kind of work in tangible form, that work has copyright automatically. If I want to take a picture from the internet and use it in a web page I am planning on publishing, there are certain things I need to do first. I must always cite the picture unless the author has been dead for over 75 years. If I took the picture, then I do not need to cite myself.
