Implementing the theory requires

relearning to use PowerPoint

2

We have all been told to use

graphics to make more effective

PowerPoint presentations

3

We end up using clip art "eye candy"

4

“Tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you

told them”

5

It has been a constant struggle to decide how to structure a

presentation

6

Start the presentation design with a

design template, not PowerPoint

7

Use the “BBP_template.xls” file that

embodies the template

8

Set up the story first

Now implement the design in PowerPoint

11

The sentence from each cell will become a slide title

12

In the "Notes View," write the narrative for each slide

13

Finally, add graphics to illustrate or reinforce the slide's message

14

Achieving BBP results requires new resources

15

BBP is shorthand

for this design

strategy

16

Beyond Bullet Points (BBP) is Atkinson's approach to

presentation design

17

Duarte's "Slide:ology" complements BBP with advice about graphical

design

18

The BBP page on our wiki has links to these and other resources

19

We need new templates to

implement BBP

Collaboration is key to

achieving superior results

24

Boris, Mark, and Bob found collaboration

to be effective and useful

25

Collaboration during design is more like pair-programming than peer

review

We’re collecting a gallery of BBP presentations on the wiki
