Illustrate Your Presentation

Inject new life into your presentation or speech with a growing variety of tools or aids.
There are of course a wide variety of mediums you can use depending on the setting of your presentation and the size of your audience ranging from the old fashioned slip charts that either stand on a table or the larger floor models. You can use these for material that is already prepared or made up as you go through your presentation either alone or in combination white a whiteboard.
Another medium which can be very effective, especially for larger audiences as the image can be adjusted is the slide projector. Although many speakers and presenters are now using Power Point presentations the older slide projector can still be very effective especially now that you can easily make up a set of colour slides relatively inexpensively on your computer and then print them out in colour.
You can of course skip this step altogether by buying either a stand alone Power Point projector ( although these can be fairly expensive) or a projector that connects to your laptop computer.
Yet another useful aids to help you illustrate your material is the electronic whiteboard that enables you to outline your points as you speak or make your presentation. There is now quite a wide variety of these on the market now and many of these also allow you to scan or print out your notes that you can use as handouts. You can get more information about these at: www.whiteboardsandmore.com

This whiteboard method of illustrating your presentation can be made even more effective if you use the Mind Mapping or Graphic Recording method of illustrating your material. Christina at www.makemark.com can provide you with much more information about this technique. Contact Tony Buzan, the originator or Mind Mapping itself at: www.thinkbuzan.com

Just make sure that whatever technique and equipment you use it is appropriate for your setting and audience and that it helps you to illustrate what you are saying  effectively .
