-----Original Message----- You would hate my class. People have short attention spans, so I tell my students to have SOMETHING happen on the screen every 6 to 10 seconds. It can be a new slide or something happening on the current slide. Bill -----Reply to Original Message----- From: az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com [mailto:az-geocaching- I do presentations from time to time, and aim for roughly one slide per minute on average. Also I force myself to talk slower than normal. Andy -----Original Message----- From: az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com Don't be too concerned, unless you are a frequent public speaker. I have been having students do in-class presentations for 25 years or so now, and one thing I have learned is that people talk faster when they are nervous. My students may prepare a nice, 10 minute Powerpoint talk, and then, in front of the class, they run through it in 7 minutes. Just try to be really nervous, and the time should be fine.
