PowerPoint

My PowerPoint

My favorite PowerPoint presentations were Patrick's, Spencer's, and Daniela's. I enjoyed Patrick's because it had good tips and was very informative. I enjoyed Spencer's because of his good examples and his good presentation. I enjoyed Daniela's because she did a great job presenting and had good information. There are many elements that I believe are important, but the most important are:
1. Readable text
2. Concise but effective amount of text
3. Do not go overboard with images and sounds
4. Make sure to not give too much information on one slide
5. Make the PowerPoint interesting so the audience does not dose off

Images on the Internet

If I was going to search the Internet for an image for my Web page, I would be concerned with many issues and possible consequences that could result from my usage. Copyright laws would be the biggest concern I would have because if I use an image illegally, the ramifications would be devastating. Since I am a student using the image for a school purpose, the Fair Use policy would come in to play. The Fair Use policy is where students, teachers, and news people can use anything on the Internet in context. If this were not for an educational purpose, I would not be able to use some images. Another good way to stay out of trouble with copyright issues is to use Creative Commons. You do not need to cite a picture when it has no commercial value. Also, if you find it on the Public Domain, there is no need to site it. You need to cite or give information about where you got the image if it looks copyrighted. This is a general rule, that if it looks copyrighted, it probably is. Better to be safe than sorry. Get permission on things that you do not have the right to use. Following these basic guidelines will help to make work that is good under the restrictions of copyright.
