Storytelling - Part 1



Slideshare is an application to share PowerPoint Presentations online without having to send it to each person by email (especially if the presentation is rather more than a couple of Mb).

I started to use it while I was doing my masters in Educational Technology at San Diego State University.

In they May 2009 newsletter their were promoting a storytelling contest. the rules were simple "[the] entry to the contest can be about anything. A story about you, your travels, or something you love. Just tell it with words and pictures and in 30 slides."

These days despite the type of audience you have, capture and hold their attention is key. be short and concise, and use more images than text in the slides has been I trend I came in contact with from different sources (see future postings).

For now I will let you with a nice presentation about storytelling using PowerPoint that I found in Slideshare!

Note: at some points the presentation goes slower than the narrator, so bear with it, because I still think that provide good info. and also is good example of storytelling itself :0)
