Resource for Presentations

I conducted a class the other day "Wow!That's PowerPoint:Avoiding Death by PowerPoint" and told the attendees I would post some helpful resources on my blog so here are the resources. Some are free and some for fee.

Here are some resources that can be of assistance.

Books:


So, Interactivity by Design is an older book and not specifically geared toward a slide show (it is focused on designing visually appealing e-learning). But it is well written with wonderful examples. I strongly recommend it if you are creating PowerPoint, Keynote or e-learning presentations/training.

Presentations:

Avoiding Death by PowerPoint

And a new series I am starting called Wow!That Presentation was Awesome!(This is for fee, $50. The first three slides are teaser but contain valuable information and then you hit the "toll booth.")



For Some Examples:
Go over to Slide Share and search for "worlds best presentation" examples.
