This week we talked about how to effectively use a flip-chart while presenting. presenting this way is a whole different ball game because not while things are planned out and prepared before hand there is possibility of writing on the flip-chart while presenting.
With flip-chart presentations it can be harder to keep an audiences attention because you may be writing on the chart or the colors or words could start to blend together. A way to keep contrast with in the text is to mix up the colors that you are using, it is a great idea either to alternate colors or highlight certain words so that they stand out.
In our class we will have to present an assigned topic in a few weeks using flips-charts and I think that it will be an interesting experience. yesterday in class Pro. Middleton introduced how to use a chart like this and she gave some helpful insight. The thing that stuck out to me most was writing while talking and writing big enough, I feel that it would be a waste of time to prepare for a presentation and then write too small which makes it difficult for the audience to see what you have written. Letters should be at least two inches and should be in all caps so that the words are easy to read.
Personally I am not god at writing in all caps so that will be something that I need to work on in order to prepare for my presentation that I will have to give with a flip-chart.
Thanks for the reminder on these tips for presenting with a flip chart. I think I'll need to practice writing in all caps and large enough, too.
