Show me, don’t tell me

I recently spoke at the NIOA Training Conference in Nashville, on the subject of how Public Information Officers can use social media tools to make their jobs easier.

I have been hesitant in the past about sharing my slides, not because I am selfish, but because I use a lot of animation in my Powerpoint presentations, and the online services don’t always render them well.

But I found authorSTREAM, a service that does what I want it to do.

Personally, if you’re going to have animation in a slide, it needs to serve a purpose. If it doesn’t, it’s a distraction.
