I think a lot of us were thinking about ...Richard,<br /><br />I think a lot of us were thinking about the same topic at the same time. Here is a link to what I had to say over on my blog:<br /><br />http://blogs.verisign.com/idefense/2010/04/powerpoint-rangers-and-ninjas-and-generals---oh-my.html<br /><br />I have seen both the 3d timeline and the prezi method done poorly and wonderfully. The bottom line to any presentation is that you have to practice it before you give it. And I mean you should get a lot of practice.<br /><br />The other method that I really like, and one that I try to use myself (at least a modified form of it) is the Andrew Lessig style.<br /><br />http://sixminutes.dlugan.com/presentation-20-hardt-executes-the-lessig-method/<br /><br />http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2005/10/the_lessig_meth.html<br /><br />A typical Lessig style 30 minute presentation is roughly 500 slides. I know, that sounds horrible, but each slide is a word or a phrase or a picture that the speaker rapidly presents to the audience. This style takes the most practice, but when done correctly, it is a beauty to behold.<br /><br />Check out the examples in the above links.<br /><br />RickRickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140485584379281758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-24169151835902845122010-05-09T04:15:59.977-04:002010-05-09T04:15:59.977-04:00Hi Richard,

To me a good presentation slide deck should primarily be images which demonstrate the concepts you are describing. I also found two alternative presentation methods which I blogged about last month.<br /><br />http://www.honeytech.com/blog/presenting/<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />lanceLance Spitznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302083186604441299noreply@blogger.com
