BUT you are going to HATE my slide for the welcome which is a list of ICANN68 sessions I want them to go to (that I am going to talk to), and I'd even want them to screendump it so that they can refer to it when they are deciding what they might want to listen
into next.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, if you can't get to a session, and you don't have the time to actually listen to the recording, an interesting ppt (or video) without the audio doesn't tell anyone anything,
<u>unless</u> the key point of your slide (minimal words, at least) is also there. </div>

Period. Both activities engage the language center of the brain. They will do only one and, more often than not, that's read. If they are reading the same slides you are, then why are you there?<br>

<br>
The big joke is that during EVERY Zoom meeting, people ask if the slides will be available. It's funny first because the answer is ALWAYS yes but, more importantly, your slides should not be able to stand on their own.<br>

<br>
Looking and listening engage different, complimentary, parts of the brain. The best analogy for a good presentation is a documentary film. They generally have narration and visuals. Imagine if Ken Burn's documentary about the American Civil War was a series
of PowerPoints with titles and bullets!<u></u><u></u></span></li></ol>

Ideally, people spend more time looking at you than your slides. This is harder in the virtual world, for sure, especially if there's no video, but consider a blank slide or a picture of yourself as you explain something. Tell people to close their eyes, even!<br>

In other words, edit down sentences to the bare minimum to be understood, make numbers Arabic instead of text and make them bigger and different colors than the text. A sentence like “Research shows that ninety-five percent of applications for community priority
evaluation failed to gain approval,” could be represented on a slide as<br>

If you wish to include explanations in your slide deck, do it in the notes section. Then they are there for you to use and EVEN available to share by making a PDF of the Notes View, instead of the slide view! Another benefit of putting what you plan to say
iin the Notes is that you can often share them with the interpreters in advance.<br>
