Objective 12:  Describe five rules for using overhead transparencies.

1.       Turn the projector off when you are not using it- This prevents a blank screen from blinding your audience

2.       Move your next overhead onto the projector at the same time as you remove the previous one- This avoid a blank screen while the projector is on.

3.       Turn the projector off when not speaking about your slide- If you are not using the slide you don’t want the audience distracted by it.

4.       Leave each slide up for at least 30 seconds- This gives your audiencetime to read and understand what is on the screen.

5.       Before putting on the projector – As you move from one slide to another, you should make a lead-in or introductory.
