Transition Slide Example

Tips for EDU 250 Students Use Font Use a reasonable background that does not detract from the learning/distract the learner Complement the lesson with interesting visuals (pictures/graphs/etc.) Do not use more than 2 colors for writing per slide Do not use dark background with light writing font color Do not use “glow in the dark” style coloring Don’t be “wordy” on the text of “in class” slides for your lessons – Less is always best. Remember, you and the activity are the focus of the learning – not the slide. Use the same transition throughout the slide presentation. Use creative, age appropriate, interesting animations as needed.
