Importance of visuals and managing slide numbers, yes — but pace and rhythm too, which is why pecha kucha presentations are increasingly popular (especially in the creative industries)

If you do not know what a pecha kucha is:

Even assuming a reasonably executed slide presentation, e.g. font size readable, and NOT having it read out to you while you are trying to read it yourself, it is still easy to get power-pointed-out sitting in presentations. As ever content is king. I remember a briefing I went to years ago from an old journalist who was giving us (fundraisers) some tips on ‘talking to the press’. He came in, sat down and said ‘well, I’ve not really prepared anything…’ so we all groaned inwardly (well I may have been slightly audible), and he then proceeded to give us a riveting half hour drawing on all his years of experience while we scribbled frantically all the words of wisdom.

’10 ways to hit the deck’ should be the title, with 10 bullet points and the whole thing offered in transmogrified version in SlideShare or something sexier.

An interesting topic, though maybe it should have been called ‘clear the decks’. One also wonders how much sites such as SlideShare contribute to the phenomenon of individuals trying to pass off other peoples research and preparation as their own, I know of at least one exec who is notorious for not knowing what is on ‘his’ next slide…literally!

Terry, I agree with your analysis of the reasons for the growth of charity shops in the high street. Where I live, the shopping malls by the biggest car park and the bus station have the chain stores and the outdoor high street has five or six charity shops near the bus stop. The shopping malls are boring; you know what you’re going to find in there, but you never know what you’ll find in a charity shop, so you go in just for a browse.
I didn’t know clientele were more often women than men, – is there data on this? And is there any academic research that confirms your impression and mine that charity shops are fun?

If children are playing games, then it must be more difficult to expose them to advertising, isn’t it? I can’t see where on-line games brings in much in the way of advertising in the way that television or Facebook do.

So one way of ensuring reduced exposure to inappropriate content and behaviour is to check that children are playing games that are age appropriate.

I worried after reading Tannen’s book that when I read students’ assignments, that I was marking the men down compared to the women because I understood the women’s words better.
