Regarding the content of a presentation, remember that after the title slide, you will need a slide describing your goals/objectives and, more important in today's environment, one detailing any commercial relationships and other potential conflicts of interest you may have (even if you do not have any, a slide stating this is in order). Whenever preparing a PPT presentation, I follow these rules:Īlways quote the source of your material and data. Remember that a good PPT presentation is not synonymous with good teaching good delivery of its contents is essential. 3 Whether you like it or not, all radiology presentations are now done by using PPT or similar programs such as Apple's Keynote. Condensing information may be good or bad, depending on whom you ask. 2 One side argues it improves teaching and retention, whereas the other feels it reduces complex issues to simple bullet points and is detrimental to decision making. The impact of PPT, positive or negative, is a matter of debate. This avoids having to carry a memory stick but forces you to have Internet access wherever you are presenting. Google also offers a presentation program and the ability to save presentations created with it or other programs in Google Docs. Benefit: it is available as a free download ( –14e1–467d-8dca-19d2a8fd7485&DisplayLang=en). As implied by its name, this program does not permit changes to the presentation. A simpler program called PPT Viewer allows presentations when the PPT basic software is not installed on a computer. PPT slides support text, graphics, illustrations, animations, transitions, and movies. Individual presentation screens are still called “slides” in reference to photographic film-based slides. A version for Apple computers was reintroduced in 1987 and became part of Office for Mac in 1998. Starting with Office 1995, PPT became relatively intuitive and easy to use.
Widespread use did not occur until 1993, when it was included in the Office suite of programs.
Three years later, it was bought by Microsoft and rebranded PPT. The earliest version of PPT dates back to 1984 and was designed for Macintosh computers (Apple, Cupertino, California). In the mid-1990s, all of this changed with the dissemination of PowerPoint (PPT) software (Microsoft, Bothell, Washington). Many of us remember slide-based presentations and the hassle they were! Lugging around those carousel trays or innumerable plastic slide holders, organizing and reorganizing slides, matching them for dual projection, running the risk of losing them, and accepting the eventual deterioration from repeated use were just some of the problems, not to mention the days (or at times, weeks) it took to get slides processed.
