Welcome to Planner's Pointers --
This week: Audio Visual aids you will see used by speakers.
Laser Pointer: Laser pointers are devices that emit a beam of light that projects a small, red dot onto a surface. During a meeting a laser pointer may be used to call attention to specific areas during a presentation.
Wireless Presenter: In recent years laser pointers have been paired with a wireless presenter. A wireless presenter is a device that advances the slides in a PowerPoint presentation. The wireless device works similar to a wireless mouse in that it uses radio frequencies. One part is the transmitter, the part in your hand, and the receiver that is plugged into the computer USB port.
Microsoft PowerPoint -- A software program that develops presentations. While PowerPoint isn't AV equipment, it has become the primary tool for developing presentations. You could almost call it a crutch for some presenters. By crutch, I mean they talk to the presentation and not the audience because their notes are the PowerPoint and they haven't taken the necessary time to rehearse the talk.
6 by 6 rule -- Guidelines that state that no transparency or slide to presentation should contain more than 6 words per line of text and no more than 6 lines text.
There was a phrase that went around a few years ago that went like this: Death by PowerPoint! What it was talking about was the over crowding on a slide of to much text or illustrations that were overly complicated. What the 6 by 6 rule tells us is to keep it simple, one idea per slide. Also to keep the slides to a minimum.
That's the Planner's Pointer for today.
