3 types of learners:

  • Visual learners- Focus on the slides and pictures
  • Listening learners- Focus on the speaker is saying
  • Physical learners- Will learn with participation 
4 Things that make up a presentation:
  • Text: words on the slide
  • Charts and graphs: visual data as an idea
  • Graphics and photos: visual representation of the speaker is talking about
  • Audio and Video: so you can hear and watch to connect the information
