My first conference presentation using power point

This will be a relatively short post, but I'll continue after my NCTE presentation tomorrow. After more than 15 years of presenting at conferences, I've decided to do a power point presentation. I feel as if I'm presenting for the first time. I have the power point jitters right now. I'm a writer, not a power pointing person. However, I feel the pressure to embrace technology just as I did with these blogs, webct, and wiki. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Good luck today! Hope the presentation is a big success...

If you can use ppt. to engage the audience successfully (rather than just show "pretty" slides), you'll do fine.

Just remember: Don't read directly from the slides! :) Hope you had a great time at your conference!

You did an excellent job! The audience was certainly engaged.
