The information on this page is based on the article[| "Five Ways to Reduce PowerPoint Overload"] by Cliff Atkinson and Richard Mayer

__**1. Signaling Principle**__

Under signaling principle the author's explain how it is more effective to use a headline rather than a title. Titles help to identify what point of the slide show you are on, but do not explain the slide. By using a headline your slide can be explained and summarized effectively in the same way as a newspaper headline describes an article. The headline is a real importance as well in catching the viewers attention, but not so much that it distracts them.

On this PowerPoint presentation the creator talks about how to create effective headlines. It hits mostly about newspaper articles, but all the ideas of writing an effective headline for a newspaper directly correlate with how to write an effective headline for a PowerPoint. Points like try not to make it too long, but effectively portray what you are talking about is a good point because you want the viewer to get the idea of your slide through the headline, but you don't want them to be distracted by a long headline. Also you must be contiencous of who your audience is and make it apprpriate for them. But this PowerPoint made an important statement that sometimes you do not know exactly who you are speaking to so you must write the headline so that a variety of people will understand it.

This is a PowerPoint that deals with teaching and the digital world. It goes over the copyright rules for people who have had a hard time dealing with them. It explains how people cannot use pictures or print that have all rights reserved on the page. The next information the presentation talks about is how plagiarism. People need to have their own ideas and not copy it from the internet. Expressing information in your own words is a great way to get your ideas across. The presentation actually gets pretty entertaining becasue in the PowerPoint is a video from youtube that explains the importance of copyright and plagiarism. This PowerPoint is very helpful and people can easily understand it.
