Best ways to use shapes in PowerPoint

Shapes are a great way to illustrate ideas during presentations. Here are some of the best ways to use shapes in PowerPoint.

Highlight specific points

Draw attention to key points in a presentation and enhance discussion remember-ability, improving knowledge retention by adding variety of shapes where they are most needed. Pull out an arrow to point out a word, encircle a key phrase in a paragraph, create boxes to break up sections, and more!

Add visual interest

Aid your presentation with visual cues through shapes and make discussions more visually commanding. Play around color options to create hotspots on your slide and direct attention on parts where attention is mostly needed. Build interest and keep students further engaged by simple playing with shapes!

Create diagrams and charts

Visually represent data through diagrams, mind maps, and all other types of charts by creating them live during a presentation. Customize them the way you want depending on the relationships and connections you want to illustrate between different pieces of information.

Illustrate concepts and ideas

Save the scribbling for later and create on-point annotations to represent concepts visually. Transform the way you present ideas by creating basic illustrations as you build them from scratch live during a slideshow. Get your students involved by making them take part on how you give life to drawings!
