Please post your PowerPoint projects on Blackboard - Discussion Board.

Some design elements to consider: 1. Color - Choose attractive color combinations that show professionalism appropriate for a teacher candidate's work.

2. Font - Choose a font style and size that is easy to read. Avoid too stylish fonts for your main text.

3. Animation - Make sure the animations you add are appropriate and necessary. Animations should help increase meaning, not serve as distractions.

4. Amount of Text - Avoid too much text on your slide. Do put enough for audience to get the main idea, in case you have audience viewing your PowerPoint in your absence.
