• ICT
• Special Education

1. Plan Your Presentation

Objective: Decide on the purpose, audience, and content of your presentation.

Actions:

Define the goal of your presentation (inform, persuade, entertain).

Identify your target audience (age, background, interests).

Outline the main topics or sections you want to cover. 

2. Open PowerPoint and Set Up a New Presentation

Objective: Start your PowerPoint project.

Actions:

Open Microsoft PowerPoint.

Choose a blank presentation or select a template if you prefer a pre-designed layout.

Set up slide orientation (Portrait or Landscape) if necessary by going to the “Design” tab > “Slide Size.” 

3. Choose a Theme 

Objective: Pick a visual theme that fits your content and style.

Actions:

Go to the “Design” tab and select a theme that aligns with your presentation.

Customize the theme (colors, fonts, background) to suit your needs. 

4. Create Title Slide 

Objective: Set the stage with a clear, professional title slide.

Actions:

Add a title that clearly reflects your presentation’s topic.

Include a subtitle with additional details, such as your name, the date, or a tagline if needed. 

5. Add Content Slides 

Objective: Add slides to structure your presentation.

Actions:

Click on the “Home” tab and select “New Slide” to add a new slide.

Choose the slide layout (e.g., Title and Content, Two Content, Blank).

Insert the main points, headings, and content for each slide. 

6. Format Your Slides 

Objective: Ensure your slides are clear, visually appealing, and easy to follow.

Actions:

Adjust font size, style, and color for readability.

Align text and images using PowerPoint’s alignment tools.

Use bullet points and numbered lists to break down information into digestible chunks.

Limit the amount of text on each slide — use keywords, not full paragraphs. 

7. Save and Share Your Presentation 

Objective: Save your work and share it with others.

Actions:

Save your presentation as a PowerPoint file (.pptx) by clicking “File” > “Save As.”

If you need to share it online, save as a PDF or upload to cloud services like OneDrive or Google Drive.

You can also save your presentation as a video (.mp4) if you want to share it without needing PowerPoint.
