Using Google Slides with Speaker Notes Effectively
Presenting Google Slides with speaker notes can significantly improve your presentation’s flow and coherence. Here’s how to do it effectively:
1. Enable Speaker Notes
First, you need to enable speaker notes in Google Slides. Go to the ‘View’ section in the menu bar, then select the ‘Show Speaker Notes’ option. A box will appear at the bottom of your slide where you can type your speaker notes.
2. Write Clear and Concise Notes
When writing your speaker notes, remember to keep them clear and concise. These notes are meant to serve as prompts or reminders, so avoid writing full sentences. Instead, use bullet points or short phrases that summarize the main points you want to cover.
3. Rehearse Your Presentation
Once you’ve written your speaker notes, rehearse your presentation. This will help you become familiar with your notes and the flow of your presentation. It can also help you identify any areas that need improvement or revision.
4. Use Presenter View
During your presentation, use the Presenter View. This view shows your slides, speaker notes, and a timer on your screen, but the audience will only see your slides. To enter Presenter View, go to the ‘Present’ button and select ‘Presenter view’.
5. Control Your Pace
Finally, remember to control the pace of your presentation. Use your speaker notes as a guide to keep your presentation on track. However, avoid reading directly from your notes as it can make your presentation seem scripted and less engaging.
By effectively using speaker notes, you can deliver a more organized and engaging presentation that successfully communicates your message.
