heres one. Many years ago the traditional way to give a talk at a conference or colloquium was to use a blackboard. Gradually, the blackboard was supplanted by the overhead projector.

In this article we update the previous one by focusing on how to give a good Power- Point presentation. The ability to do a PowerPoint presentation well is a valuable skill that many students will find useful in connection with their academic work and employment. Preparation 1. Determine the level of knowledge of the target audience. 2. Choose a subject that will appeal to the intended audience. 3. Don't overestimate what the audience knows about your subject. 4. Don't try to do too much. 5. Use simple examples and concrete special cases. A "nonexample" often helps to clarify a concept. For instance, if you use the integers modulo 7 as an example of a finite field, be sure to point out that integers modulo 6 is not a field and why. 6. Use intuitive definitions rather than technically correct ones. Avoid technical details. A "calibration" example often helps (i.e., test a new definition on familiar objects). 7. Mention applications. 8. Choose a title that is short and informative. Cute titles are usually poor titles. "On a Theorem of Erdös" is too vague. "On Erdös's Prime number Theorem" is short and informative. 9. In your abstract, indicate the level of the talk. (Examples:
