Ideas for preparing a presentation

• First you should think about which instruments you want to use to develop your presentation. Certainly the most popular way to make a presentation interesting for the audience is the Microsoft PowerPoint computer program.
• It is important to plan the rough course of the presentation at an early stage, even before the actual preparations begin. Once you have decided to use the PowerPoint software, create the individual slides each with a heading to give you a rough overview.
• If you start a presentation sensibly, you first write an individual report on the topic you are going to present. This report is a kind of plan that you can now work through in sequence.

• During the introductory phase, consider whether other people should be included in the presentation. Talk to them in good time about their readiness, preferably before the preparations. The same applies to any material that you need for the presentation. Organize procurement in good time so that you have all the materials to hand when you get started.

Targeted use of media - this is how a successful presentation begins

• As already mentioned, the most common tool used for presentations is Microsoft PowerPoint software. If you do not want to purchase this program, a free version is available through the OpenOffice.org project. Without the use of the media, your lecture will not be that interesting. Long speeches are good in themselves, but your audience will only be enthusiastic when you present pictures, video clips, etc. Start your preparations by gathering available media.
