A brilliant laptop presentation is more than just dazzling slides.

"Using electronic equipment for presentations poses a new set of challenges for both the novice and veteran presenter. Point, Click and Wow! provides some great tips to overcome these challenges and offers ideas on how to get the audience engaged and really interacting with you, the presenter." —Dave Poulin, national sales manager, Mercury Computer Systems, Inc.

"Anyone who wants to deliver more effective, imaginative presentations will find a wealth of practical tips here, and those who actually use them are bound to meet with more real-world success." —Tad Simons, editor-in-chief, Presentations

"Claudyne has done it again. In Point, Click, and Wow! Second Edition, she shows that presentations slides don't connect to an audience-people do. Through countless examples and tips, presenters will learn how to be the message of their talk. The results will speak for themselves-a thrilled audience, a confident, energized presenter, and a presentation success." —Howard Ris, president, Union of Concerned Scientists

"Fabulous! Enormously useful ideas, terrific illustrations, and the most comprehensive handbook on effective presentations I have seen. I can't wait to get this book into the hands of my students." —Alan Gaynor, professor, human resource education, Boston University --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of practical advice, January 23, 2000
This review is from: Point, Click & Wow!: A Quick Guide to Brilliant Laptop Presentations (Paperback)
Although this book is 3 years old, it still has lots of practical advice, from what colors to use to how to ensure that you are prepared on the day of your presentation. There are many specific suggestions about designing a presentation, getting to know your audience, choosing effective graphics, using animation wisely and standing up before an audience. The book closes with several helpful checklists. This book is applicable to any presentation program.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great for New Users, January 3, 2007
I expected more of this book and CD than they provided. If you're a new PowerPoint user, this is a good resource for the basics. If you're accustomed to using PowerPoint, and you've done presentations before, this book doesn't have much to offer beyond the usual recommendations, e.g., keep it brief, only so many lines per slide, etc. I would suggest you check this book out of the library rather than buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art and Science of Presenting, May 22, 2002
Wilder and Rotondo have given us the Art and Science of Presenting -- from researching the audience, focusing on the goal of presentation, and organizing the content, to using technological tools, designing for impact, and rehearsing. The principles covered in their book can be used for any type of presentation situation (not just a PowerPoint slide show) and will therefore be useful to readers many times in the future.
