20. E-Learning A Bad Slide This is a great example of what not to do for a presentation slide. The longer I type and read aloud, the harder it becomes for you to follow along. This should be the point in the slide where I give you an astonishing fact that blows you away, but instead you have drifted off; probably thinking about what you need to do later this afternoon or what you may want to eat for dinner. When you create a presentation, make it SIMPLE! Dont cram as much as you can into one slide or read directly from it. Throw in pictures, videos, diagrams, or even questions that you can ask your participants.
