Then save your presentation. I like to save my slide presentations on my laptop s hard drive, then make a copy on my desktop and on a zip disk. I also like to make color transparencies and take them with me in case there is a problem with the computer or computer projection equipment. It s always wise to have a backup of your presentation in a different format. You should arrive in the classroom or convention center early and check your laptop and the computer projector.
Some speakers own their own projector.
Rehearse your presentation again. It s helpful to use a pointer when teaching. If you re uncertain about the electrical connections, take a power cord with you. Selected Bibliography Finkelstein, Ellen. How to Prepare, Stage, and Deliver Winning Presentations .
