I've recently experienced a new found respect for Microsoft PowerPoint. Although, I have used PPT on several occasions, it wasn't until my most recent school project that I realized how advanced it has become. The use of hyperlinks, inserting external data, etc., really made my information seem authentic. Yes, I've used photos and links before. However, I never thought about hyperlinking photos to my slides. I guess, it was because I knew I would be the only person using the PPT.
Now that I'm in graduate school, I'm having to share my information and it is all becoming clearer. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot to learn. For years, I thought what I was working with was correct. In many aspects it was. However, I'm on a whole different level now. I'm experiencing PPT from a teaching aspect and not from a speaker or student aspect. Now, I get to share my thoughts and ideas not for presentational purpose only but for educational purpose and for others to see and utilize.
Therefore, I plan to use the knowledge I've acquired in my future presentations. I am always happy to learn new and exciting things. But understanding what you're doing and why you're doing it is priceless. Creating powerful presentations benefits not only my career but it also reach others and that's what its all about.
