Presentation Tips For Students – Show And Tell Like A Pro!

Updated: July 15, 2022

Published: May 4, 2020

Presentation-Tips-For-Students---Show-And-Tell-Like-A-Pro

Giving a presentation to fellow classmates can be a bit daunting, especially if you are new to oral and visual presenting. But with the right PowerPoint tips, public speaking skills, and plenty of practice, you can present like a pro at your upcoming presentation. Here, we’ve laid out the best college presentation tips for students. And once you have one successful presentation, you’ll get better each time!

The Best Presentation Tips for Students

1. arrive early and be technically prepared.

Get to the room early and make sure you leave plenty of time for technical set up and technical difficulties. Have several backup drives (including an online version if possible) so that you are prepared for anything!

2. Know More

Be educated on more than just what you are sharing. That way, you can add points, speak candidly and confidently, and be prepared to answer any audience or teacher questions.

3. Share Your Passion With Your Audience

Connect with your audience by showing that you are passionate about your topic. Do this with the right tone, eye contact, and enthusiasm in your speech.

4. pace yourself.

When student presenters are nervous, they tend to speed up their speech. This can be a problem, however, because your speed may be distracting, hard to understand, and you may run under your time.

5. Rehearse Thoroughly

Don’t just practice, rehearse your college presentation. Rehearse the entire delivery, including standing up, using gestures, and going through the slides.

6. Show Your Personality

You don’t need to be professional to the point of stiffness during your college presentation . Don’t be afraid to show your personality while presenting. It will make your presentation more interesting, and you will seem more approachable and confident.

7. Improvise

You can’t be 100% certain what will happen during your presentation. If things aren’t exactly as you expected, don’t be afraid to improvise and run off script.

8. Pump Yourself Up

Get yourself excited and full of energy before your college presentation! Your mood sets the tone for your presentation, and if you get excited right before, you will likely carry that throughout and you’ll make your audience excited about your topic as well.

9. Remember To Pause

Pausing not only only prevents filler words and helps you recollect your thoughts, it can also be a powerful indicator of importance within your presentation.

10. Create “Um” Alternatives

Try hard not to use filler words as they make you look unprofessional and uncertain. The best alternatives to “um” “like” and “so” are taking a breath or a silent pause to collect your thoughts.

11. Using Your Hands

Using your hands makes your college presentation more interesting and helps to get your points across. Point at the slide, use common hand gestures, or mimic a motion.

12. Eye Contact

Eye contact is one of the most important presentation tips for students . Many students are nervous, so they look at their notes or their feet. It is important that you show your confidence and engage your audience by making eye contact. The more presentations you give, the more eye contact will feel natural.

13. The Right Tone

The best public speakers vary their tone and pitch throughout their presentation. Try to change it up, and choose the right tone for your message.

Preparing an Effective College Presentation

1. open strong.

Grab your fellow students’ attention by starting strong with a powerful quote, intriguing scenario, or prompt for internal dialogue.

2. Start With A Mind Map

Mind mapping is literally creating a map of the contents of your college presentation. It is a visual representation and flow of your topics and can help you see the big picture, along with smaller details.

3. edit yourself.

Some students make the mistake of including too much information in their college presentations. Instead of putting all of the information in there, choose the most important or relevant points, and elaborate on the spot if you feel it’s necessary.

4. Tell A Story

People love stories — they capture interest in ways that figures and facts cannot. Make your presentation relatable by including a story, or presenting in a story format.

5. The Power Of Humor

Using humor in your college presentation is one of the best presentation tips for students. Laughter will relax both you and the audience, and make your presentation more interesting

PowerPoint Tips for Students

1. use key phrases.

Choose a few key phrases that remain throughout your PowerPoint presentation. These should be phrases that really illustrate your point, and items that your audience will remember afterwards.

2. Limit Number Of Slides

Having too many slides will cause you to feel you need to rush through them to finish on time. Instead, include key points on a slide and take the time to talk about them. Try to think about including one slide per one minute of speech.

3. Plan Slide Layouts

Take some time to plan out how information will be displayed on your PowerPoint. Titles should be at the top, and bullets underneath. You may want to add title slides if you are changing to a new topic.

4. the right fonts.

Choose an easy-to-read font that isn’t stylized. Sans serif fonts tend to be easier to read when they are large. Try to stick to only two different fonts as well to keep the presentation clean.

5. Choosing Colors And Images

When it comes to colors, use contrasting ones: light on dark or dark on light. Try to choose a few main colors to use throughout the presentation. Choose quality images, and make sure to provide the source for the images.

6. Use Beautiful Visual Aids

Keep your presentation interesting and your audience awake by adding visual aids to your PowerPoint. Add captivating photos, data representations, or infographics to illustrate your information.

7. Don’t Read Straight From Your Notes

When you read straight from your notes, your tone tends to remain monotonous, you don’t leave much room for eye contact. Try looking up often, or memorizing portions of your presentation.

8. Avoid Too Much Text

PowerPoint was made for images and bullets, not for your entire speech to be written in paragraph form. Too much text can lose your adiences’ interest and understanding.

9. Try A Theme

Choosing the right theme is one of those presentation tips for students that is often overlooked. When you find the right theme, you keep your college presentation looking interesting, professional, and relevant.

10. Be Careful With Transitions And Animations

Animations and transitions can add a lot to your presentation, but don’t add to many or it will end up being distracting.

Public Speaking Tips for Students

1. choose your topic wisely.

If you are able to pick your topic, try to pick something that interests you and something that you want to learn about. Your interest will come through your speech.

2. Visit The Room Beforehand

If your presentation is being held somewhere outside of class, try to visit the location beforehand to prep your mind and calm your nerves.

3. Practice Makes Perfect

Practice, practice, practice! The only way you will feel fully confident is by practicing many times, both on your own and in front of others.

4. talk to someone about anxiety.

If you feel anxious about your college presentation, tell someone. It could be a friend, family member, your teacher, or a counselor. They will be able to help you with some strategies that will work best for you.

5. Remind Yourself Of Your Audience

Remember, you are presenting to your peers! They all likely have to make a presentation too at some point, and so have been or will be in the same boat. Remembering that your audience is on your side will help you stay cool and collected.

6. Observe Other Speakers

Look at famous leaders, or just other students who typically do well presenting. Notice what they are doing and how you can adapt your performance in those ways.

7. Remind Yourself Of Your Message

If you can come up with a central message, or goal, of your college presentation, you can remind yourself of it throughout your speech and let it guide you.

8. Don’t Apologize

If you make a mistake, don’t apologize. It is likely that no one even noticed! If you do feel you need to point out your own mistake, simply say it and keep moving on with your presentation. No need to be embarrassed, it happens even to the best presenters!

When you smile, you appear warm and inviting as a speaker. You will also relax yourself with your own smile.

The Bottom Line

It can be nerve racking presenting as a college student, but if you use our presentation tips for students, preparing and presenting your college presentation will be a breeze!

The 12 Reasons Why Presentation Skills are Important:

Presentation skills are not just crucial for students but also for individuals of all ages and professions. Here’s why they matter and how they impact everyone:

1. Effective Communication :

  • Effective communication is the backbone of all human interactions. Presentation skills equip individuals with the ability to convey information clearly, concisely, and persuasively. Whether it’s explaining a project at work or delivering a compelling speech, the capacity to communicate effectively is indispensable.
  • Example : In a business meeting, a project manager adept in presentation skills can elucidate a complex project plan. They articulate the project’s goals, milestones, and potential challenges, ensuring that everyone understands the roadmap to success.

2. Career Advancement :

  • The workplace is highly competitive, and presentation skills can be the differentiating factor that propels individuals forward in their careers. Being able to present ideas, strategies, and accomplishments with confidence and clarity garners recognition and opens up opportunities for advancement.
  • Example : A marketing professional who excels in presenting marketing campaigns not only impresses the team but also demonstrates leadership qualities. This can lead to promotions and increased responsibilities.

3. Building Credibility :

  • Credibility is vital in professional and personal relationships. When you can present your ideas convincingly, you gain the trust of your peers, colleagues, and superiors. Your credibility extends to the content you’re presenting, making it more likely to be accepted and acted upon.
  • Example : An environmental scientist delivering a presentation on climate change with well-researched data and compelling visuals gains credibility among policymakers and the public, potentially influencing policy decisions.

4. Persuasion and Influence :

  • Presentation skills encompass the art of persuasion. Individuals who can engage their audience, create a compelling narrative, and support their arguments effectively are more likely to influence others. This skill is invaluable in negotiations, sales, and leadership roles.
  • Example : A charismatic motivational speaker can use their presentation skills to inspire audiences, motivating them to take action or adopt new perspectives.

5. Problem Solving :

  • Strong presenters are often adept problem solvers. They can analyze complex issues, break them down into understandable components, and present solutions clearly and persuasively. This ability is crucial for addressing challenges in personal and professional life.
  • Example : During a corporate crisis, a CEO who can present a well-structured crisis management plan to stakeholders demonstrates effective problem-solving skills and reassures concerned parties.

6. Personal Branding :

  • Effective presentation skills contribute to personal branding. Consistently delivering engaging and informative presentations enhances one’s reputation as a knowledgeable, confident, and trustworthy professional.
  • Example : A tech entrepreneur known for captivating product launch presentations builds a strong personal brand, attracting media attention, investors, and customers.

7. Adaptability :

  • Presentation skills encompass the ability to adapt to various formats, audiences, and settings. This adaptability is invaluable in today’s diverse and ever-changing work environments, where individuals must navigate different communication channels and styles.
  • Example : A teacher who can seamlessly transition from in-person classroom presentations to delivering engaging online lessons demonstrates adaptability in response to changing circumstances.

8. Lifelong Learning :

  • Embracing presentation skills encourages individuals to engage in lifelong learning and self-improvement. As presentation techniques evolve and audiences change, individuals who continually refine their communication abilities remain relevant and effective.
  • Example : A retired professional who continues to develop presentation skills for community workshops and public speaking engagements not only shares their expertise but also stays engaged in lifelong learning, adapting to new challenges and opportunities.

Presentation skills are universally essential as they enhance communication, facilitate career advancement, build credibility, enable persuasive influence, promote problem-solving, strengthen personal branding, foster adaptability, and encourage lifelong learning. These skills empower individuals to succeed in various personal and professional endeavors, making them essential for everyone.

Let’s look at a comprehensive overview of these trending presentation skills:

Allow me to introduce you to the 12 skills that encapsulate the very essence of the world’s most exceptional presenters.

2. Audience Engagement:

These skills encompass techniques to engage and capture the attention of your audience. It’s not just about talking; it’s about connecting with your listeners on an intellectual and emotional level.

3. Organization and Structure: 

Presentation skills involve structuring your content logically and coherently. It’s about creating a roadmap that guides your audience through your message, ensuring they follow and understand your points.

J) Knowledge Transfer: 

Lastly, presentations facilitate the transfer of knowledge from one person to another or from one generation to the next. This is particularly important in educational settings, where teachers present information to students in a structured manner.

In essence, presentations are versatile tools with multifaceted purposes. They are not just about delivering information but about connecting, persuading, educating, and inspiring. Understanding the specific purpose of your presentation is the first step toward creating a compelling communication experience for your audience.

Why is it important to have good presentation skills for students?

Imagine this scenario: You’re sitting in a classroom, and your professor asks you to present your research findings. Your heart races, your palms sweat, and the butterflies in your stomach have a party of their own. Sound familiar? Well, that’s where good presentation skills come into play for students, and they’re more than just a ticket to survive the classroom spotlight. They’re a gateway to personal and professional success.

First and foremost, presentation skills are the ultimate communication tool.

They help students articulate their thoughts, ideas, and findings with clarity and confidence. In an academic setting, this means you can engage your peers and professors effectively, making your voice heard and your ideas stand out.

But it doesn’t stop at the classroom door. These skills are your secret (because not everyone knows this) key in the professional world. Picture yourself in a job interview. Your potential employer asks you to discuss your qualifications and why you’re the right fit for the role. With polished presentation skills, you’re not just answering questions; you’re painting a vivid picture of your capabilities and potential.

Furthermore, good presentation skills are a confidence booster.

They transform nervous jitters into a sense of empowerment. When you can stand before an audience and convey your message convincingly, it’s a feeling like no other. This newfound confidence seeps into other aspects of your academic and professional life, making you a more resilient and adaptable individual.

In essence, good presentation skills are the key to unlocking doors of opportunity. Whether you’re excelling in class discussions, wowing your professors with a well-structured thesis defense, or nailing that crucial client pitch, these skills are your trusty companions on the journey of personal and professional growth.

So, the next time you find yourself in the spotlight, remember that presentation skills aren’t just about public speaking; they’re about showcasing your potential, building confidence, and paving the way for success. Embrace them, and watch your academic and professional horizons expand like never before.

Social Interaction and Diversity

Campus and student life.

A group of male students is walking; most are wearing women's shoes, and one holds a sign that reads, "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes."

I even lived on campus to get the college experience. I had five roommates and I still keep in touch with them while I’m on the road. —Tatyana Ali, actress, model, and R&B singer

Learning Objectives

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

  • Describe the variety of organized groups available on campus for both resident and nonresident students
  • Identify resources for learning more about campus organizations
  • Describe the benefits of participating in student life

Student Life

Whether your campus is small, tall, grande , or venti , you are probably amazed by the array of institutionally supported student activities available for your enrichment and enjoyment. Perhaps your biggest challenge is deciding how much extra time you have after studying and which added activities yield the greatest reward.

Below are two videos that give a sample of campus life at two different types of colleges. The first is from a large state institution—the University of Maryland. The second is from a smaller, private college—Baldwin Wallace University. Regardless, though, of where your institution fits on the spectrum of size, or how many activities, clubs, and organizations your institution offers, it’s very important for you to be able to explore cocurricular interests—for learning, enjoyment, and personal satisfaction. Student life should always be satisfying and rewarding to students, as well as to alumni, faculty, staff, and community members. Together, these groups are an institution’s lifeblood.

Organized Groups on Campus

Student organizations.

Colleges have an abundance of student organizations. Some examples you may be familiar with are the Hillel Student Organization for enriching the lives of Jewish students, the Chess Club, and Model United Nations. Larger institutions may have hundreds of such organizations. Here is a lengthy and exciting list of student organizations at the University of Maryland Baltimore County .

Generally, an organization is created and run by current students, and it’s sponsored by an executive officer, dean, or director of a major academic or operational unit. An organization must also have a mission that’s consistent with the mission of the college and sponsor. It might also collect dues from members, but in many cases, membership is free.

To link up with a student organization, you may not need to do much more than take stock of your interests. What do you love to do? In a later section, you’ll find a list of ways to learn about student organizations at your institution. If you find that your college doesn’t have an organization that speaks to your particular interests, you might consider starting one.

Fraternities and Sororities

Fraternities and sororities are social organizations at colleges and universities. The terms “Greek letter organization” (“GLO”) and “Greek life” are often used to describe fraternities and sororities. Generally, you obtain membership while you are an undergraduate, but your membership continues for life. Most Greek organizations have five shared elements: secrecy, single-sex membership, rushing and pledging to select new members, occupancy in a shared residence, and identification with Greek letters. Fraternities and sororities also engage in philanthropic activities, and they often host parties and other events that may be popular across campus.

Diversity and Multiculturalism

Diversity and multiculturalism are indeed critical pursuits not just on college campuses but in communities, businesses, and organizations around the world. If you are interested in expanding and promoting awareness of this issues on campus and further afield, you can seek opportunities at your college for starters. You will likely find informal gatherings, presentations, campus-wide events, individual students and classes focused on creating diverse, multicultural, and inclusive communities. As an example, here is a list of student clubs relating to culture and diversity at Goucher College .

Civic Engagement and Leadership

Most colleges have many opportunities for you to learn about and prepare for civic engagement and leadership on campus and in the wider community. What is civic engagement? It’s your involvement in protecting and promoting a diverse and democratic society—and clearly, leadership is an important part of this. Student organizations and activities related to these pursuits may be student government associations, leadership courses and retreats, social change projects, service opportunities, social innovation initiatives, and many others.

Service and Volunteerism

If you are like many new college students, you probably already have experience volunteering. It may have been part of your high school requirements. Or perhaps you engaged in volunteering as part of a faith organization or as part of a community fundraising effort. Any of your volunteering can continue in college, too, as your institution will have many special and meaningful ways to stay involved, work on social problems, and contribute to a better world. Service and volunteer efforts may include philanthropy, activism, social entrepreneurship, advocacy, and direct service. [1]

Student Activities

On any college campus, satellite center, or virtual space, students may be involved in activities around the clock on any given day. These activities may include student organization activities as well as special presentations, meetings, performing arts events, sporting events, intramurals, recreational activities, local community activities, holiday events, commemorative events, and so on.

You are heartily encouraged to pursue any interests that enhance your education and enrich your student experience. Your participation can expand your horizons, deepen your interests, and connect you with new people.

Resources for Learning About Campus Organizations

It can seem overwhelming to learn about all the activities, events, clubs, organizations, athletics, performing arts, etc. on campus. Sometimes you may need to dig a little, too. The following resources are a good place to start:

  • Your institution’s Web site : Try a keywords search at your college’s Web site, using any of the following:  student life , college life, student organizations, clubs, student activities office, student services, special events, events calendar, performing arts calendar, athletics calendar , etc.
  • Email : Keep alert to the many email messages you receive from campus offices and organizations. They publicize all kinds of activities and opportunities for you to engage with campus and student life.
  • Other technology-based support services : Take advantage of other technology-based student support services if they are available. For example, some colleges use an online platform that connects student organizations and allows them to reach out to prospective new members. With this service, you could access a list of student organizations to see which ones you might like to join and see what events are ahead. You can also can search for organizations based on categories or interests.
  • Social media : Most institutions keep up-to-date information on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. Individual groups on campus may also have separate social media presences that you can locate through the institution’s offerings.
  • Bulletin boards : Take a look at bulletin boards as you pass through hallways in academic buildings, dining halls, sports facilities, dormitories, even local service centers, and retail stores. You can often find fliers with event details and contact information.
  • Friends : Keep a pulse on what others are doing in their spare time. This is also a good way to make new friends and align yourself with others who have similar interests.
  • Campus offices for social functions : Make a point to visit the student activities office or the student affairs office. Both often have physical spaces for student organizations.
  • Campus offices for academic functions : Inquire with your academic adviser. He or she will likely be knowledgeable about campus organizations related to your interests and may know about local, regional and national organizations, too.

Activity: Campus and Community Activities

This project involves attending two campus and/or community culture activities (not athletic events), collecting mementos from each event, and displaying evidence of your experience via social media.

  • Attend campus activities/events to heighten a sense of connection with your institution
  • Use social media to display artifacts from these events
  • Choose two activities to attend (athletic events not included).
  • Collect mementos (such as a ticket stub, a program, take pictures and/or video).
  • Digitally archive them (for example, take a digital picture of the ticket stub).
  • what, when, and where the activity occurred
  • why you chose the activity
  • uploads of the related mementos
  • what you learned from the experience
  • Follow your instructor’s directions for submitting this activity.

Benefits of Participating in Student Life

How is it that becoming fully involved in student life can have such a positive impact on student satisfaction and academic success?

The National Survey of Student Engagement —a survey measuring student involvement in academic and cocurricular activities—shows that student success is directly linked to student involvement in the institution. In fact, survey results show that the higher the level of student involvement is, the higher student grades are and the more likely students are to reenroll the next semester. All of this seems to translate to satisfaction. The following lists some of the many benefits and rewards that result from active participation in campus and student life.

  • Personal interests are tapped : Cocurricular programs and activities encourage students to explore personal interests and passions. As students pursue these interests, they learn more about their strengths and possible career paths. These discoveries can be lasting and life-changing.
  • A portfolio of experience develops : Experience with just about any aspect of college life may be relevant to a prospective employer. Is freshman year too soon to be thinking about résumés? Definitely not! If you gain leadership experience in a club, for example, be sure to document what you did so you can refer back to it (you might want to keep track of your activities and experiences in a journal, for instance).
  • Fun leads to good feelings : Students typically pursue cocurricular activities because the activities are enjoyable and personally rewarding. Having fun is also a good way to balance the stress of meeting academic deadlines and studying intensely.
  • Social connections grow : When students are involved in cocurricular activities, they usually interact with others, which means meeting new people, developing social skills, and being a part of a community. It’s always good to have friends who share your interests and to develop these relationships over time.
  • Awareness of diversity expands : The multicultural nature of American society is increasingly reflected and celebrated on college campuses today. You will see this not only in the classroom but also in the cocurricular activities, clubs, organizations, and events. For example, your college might have a Black Student Union, an Asian Pacific Student Union, a Japanese Student Association, a Chinese Student Association, and many others. Having access to these resources gives students the opportunity to explore different cultures and prepare to live, work, and thrive in a vibrantly diverse world.
  • Self-esteem grows : When students pursue their special interests through cocurricular activities, it can be a real boost to self-esteem. Academic achievement can certainly be a source of affirmation and satisfaction, but it’s nice to have additional activities that validate your special contributions in other ways.

All in all, being involved in the campus community is vital to every student, and it’s vital to the college, too. It’s a symbiotic relationship that serves everyone well.

The key to getting the most out of college is to take advantage of as many facets of student life as possible while still keeping up with your academic commitments. That’s pretty obvious, right? What may be less obvious is that focusing exclusively on your academic work and not getting involved in any of the rich and diverse cocurricular activities on campus can come at a real price and even hamper your success.

  • Microsoft 365

Classrooms around the world contain students with very diverse abilities and needs, and research shows that this diversity has increased in recent years. For example, as of 2018 in the United States there were more than 5 million English as a second language (ESL) learners, accounting for approximately 10.2% of the total student population. 1  According to some estimates, that percentage could rise to 25% by 2025. 2  Additionally, approximately 15% of all people in the U.S. have a disability 3 , and as of the 2020-21 school year, more than 7.2 million students received special education services. 4  This highlights the importance of designing learning tools that can help students, teachers, and parents learn, understand, and communicate in ways that match their preferences and abilities. 

Microsoft Education is committed to doing our part to help schools achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goal #4, to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all,” 5  and one way we do that is by developing tools to reduce barriers to success for all learners. 

The latest in our series of Accelerate Learning kits, “ Real-Time Translation in Live Presentations ,” explores how artificial intelligence (AI) translation tools can be used to provide equitable learning for ESL speakers, or anyone with hearing or language processing difficulties. The translation feature available when activating “Live Presentations” in the PowerPoint web app is just one of many built-in features in  Microsoft 365 for education  that can benefit users of all different experience levels and abilities. 

We’ve written about several other features including:

  • Using Live Captions in OneNote for more inclusive learning
  • Help students become more confident speakers
  • Checking for accessibility: boosting opportunity in 3 clicks!

PowerPoint Live beyond the classroom

One use for Real-Time Translation is to support ESL students as they become more skilled with English. This is a great example of Microsoft’s commitment to AI for Good — read on for more ways it can be used. 

As a stand-alone feature, PowerPoint Live Presentations can bring your stories to life and  help everyone follow along and understand. Consider a parent-teacher night or an in-person school curriculum event. The presenter can generate a public Live Presentations link, and when attendees open this link with their own devices, they’ll be able to see the presentation captioned in the language of their choice, or view a transcript. They’ll also be able to navigate back to previous slides they may have missed. With these features, everyone can see, understand, and revisit any section of the presentation they’d like. Distractions, poor acoustics or being far away from the speaker won’t prevent them from listening and participating. The audience can also provide feedback to the speaker at the close of the presentation with an automatic survey feature. 

If you have Microsoft Teams available, you can go one step further with PowerPoint Live in Teams. As a teacher or presenter, you get a unique view that lets you control your presentation while staying engaged with your audience. You’ll be able to see their cameras, raised hands, reactions, and chat conversations. Using the cameo feature, you can insert a live camera view of yourself directly into your slides, bringing your content to life.

Your students will be able to personalize their viewing experience with captions, high-contrast slides, and slides translated into their native language, without affecting anyone else.

How does PowerPoint Live compare to the competition?

The Accelerate Learning whitepaper highlights how presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides both offer ways to enable translation, and compares the process of setting up and using each tool from the perspective of the presenter and the audience. Both the Microsoft and Google versions allow users to select from many different language options and see live audio translated in real-time, but there are some key differences. For example, PowerPoint Live Presentations provides built-in translation with just a few clicks, but Google Slides does not. 

Using Microsoft PowerPoint, teachers or other presenters can open and activate Live Presentations, which generates a QR code for students to scan with a device and choose their preferred language for translation. 

student life presentation

When the presenter activates Live Presentations in PowerPoint, students can scan the QR code and choose their preferred language.

Accessing translation on Google Slides requires students to open both a presentation window and a translation window, and arrange them side-by-side to see the presentation and translation concurrently. The need to manage multiple windows or install a third-party add-on makes the process harder to manage, which could require additional IT support and involvement, and could pose student privacy risks.

Creating a learning environment for students of all backgrounds

Providing a simple, easy-to-use translation solution like Live Presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint or PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams helps remove barriers to learning and enables students of all linguistic backgrounds and comprehension abilities to understand and participate in lessons in real-time. For more about Real-Time Translation, read the  comparative study , and visit the  K-12 Blueprint Learning Next  page for whitepapers, abstracts, and infographics for this and other Accelerate Learning topics.

How to Convert PDF to PPT for Students

Often during student life, teachers and professors shared PDF documents for your information. When you have a PDF document, it can be difficult to edit it or even make notes on the document directly. When I encountered this challenge, I started looking for solutions and the easiest way was to convert the PDF to PPT. That is why I will be focusing on helping students seamlessly convert from PDF to PPT without any unnecessary trouble. This article will guide you on how to convert a PDF to PPT through easy and simple steps. Keep reading to find out how.

Why We Convert PDF to PPT

Oftentimes teachers or professors share their lectures or presentations in the form of PDF since they are easier to share and compatible with every Computer OS. However, when students open these PDF files, they struggle to make notes on those files or highlight important pieces of information.

I have found that it is impossible to open a PDF file as a PPT. Both of these softwares are incompatible with each other, therefore, it is an unavailable option. Since, editing on the PDF file is not an option either, it is best to convert the PDF to PPT for such purpose. To demonstrate the ease of editing on PPT files, here is an example of editing an image on PPT:

This is particularly useful when editing presentations for certain courses, making your own decks for a class, or when presenting a case for a seminar.

Converting PDF to PPT Online Using WPS PDF Tools

The first solution I encountered in my quest to learn how to convert PDF to PowerPoint was an online PDF converter . It's simple, requires no download, and is free. The process of using online PDF conversion tools is straightforward, but it's important to prioritize security when uploading PDF files. Therefore, I opted to use WPS Online PDF Tools, known for their secure and diverse offerings. Let's explore how to convert PDF to PowerPoint for free using WPS PDF Tools.

Step 1: First, navigate to the official WPS PDF Tools website on your preferred browser.

Step 2: WPS PDF offers various online PDF tools, but for this task, we'll use the PDF to PPT tool. Simply click on "PDF to PPT".

Step 3: Now, either drop your PDF files that you wish to convert to PPT, or click on the "Select PDF File" button to upload PDFs from your computer.

Step 4: Once the file is uploaded, WPS PDF Tools will immediately start the conversion process, which may take a few moments.

Step 5: Once the conversion is complete, the PPT file will be available for download. Simply click on the "Download" button to save the file to your system.

So, that's the entire process – just five easy steps to convert your PDF to PPT for easy note-taking, using the secure online platform of WPS PDF Tools. However, if you're not comfortable with online PDF tools, don't worry. In the next section, I'll discuss how to convert PDF to PPT using offline software, so you can rest assured.

Converting PDF to PPT on Desktop or Mobile

There are alternative methods for converting your PDF to PPT besides online PDF tools. However, the approach I have is tailored specifically for students: WPS Office, a complete free office suite designed to meet all student needs. Yes, it's completely free! WPS Office provides free PDF tools for students to ensure their studies are not only free but also easy to navigate, thanks to its intuitive interface. WPS Office is available for both PC and mobile devices. So, let's see what steps need to be followed in both to convert PDF to PPT.

Here are the steps you need to follow to convert your PDF to PPT on desktop:

Step 1: Open the PDF lecture using WPS Office.

Step 2: After the PDF file is opened, click on the "Menu" button in the top left corner of the screen.

Step 3: Now, simply click on the “Export” option and then select "PPT" from the flyout menu.

Step 4: The WPS PDF Converter will now open, where you can go through the settings before converting your PDF to PPT.

Step 5: You can set the Page Range before the conversion, which can be helpful if you wish to convert specific pages.

Step 6: Next, change the Conversion mode if you wish to adjust the proportions of the conversion.

Step 7: Lastly, change the Output path of your converted PPT if you want to save the document in a different folder.

Step 8: Once done, click on the “Export” button to convert your PDF to PPT.

And there you have your PPT! You can make notes, share it with others, or simply save it for later use. If you noticed, WPS PDF Converter not only provides simple steps to convert your PDFs but also offers advanced settings to students to ensure the converted PPT is exactly how they want it.

These days, everything can be done on the phone. When most students don’t have access to a computer and they have to make urgent changes, it helps to have the PPT file on your phone. To convert to PPT, make sure that you have downloaded the WPS Office app on your phone. Since WPS Office is compatible on both Android and iOS devices, you can use the Playstore or Apple Store to download it. Next, follow the below steps to convert and edit your PPT file:

Step 1: Open the WPS Office mobile app.

Step 2: Click on the "Tools" button in the toolbar located at the bottom.

Step 3: Next, scroll down and find "PDF to PPT" under the PDF Tools section.

Step 4: In the PDF to PowerPoint screen, click on "Select Docs" to choose a PDF saved on your mobile.

Easy Conversion of Documents with WPS Office

WPS Office is a versatile tool that has many features available, all for the purpose of ease and convenience for students and other users. I have discovered that WPS can also convert other documents in addition to PDF to PPT. Since it is compatible with all Microsoft files, I have successfully used it to convert Word to PDF or JPG and vice versa.

As an example, here are a few steps you can use to convert PDFto Word:

Step 1: Begin by visiting the official WPS PDF Tools website using your preferred web browser.

Step 2: On the website, select the "PDF to Word" tool from the available options.

Step 3: Upload the PDF files you want to convert to Word Document either by dragging and dropping them or by clicking the "Select PDF File" button and choosing them from your computer.

Step 4: Once the upload is complete, WPS PDF Tools will initiate the conversion process, which may take a short while.

Step 5: After the conversion finishes, you can download the converted Word Document file by clicking the "Download" button.

In these simple steps, you now have a PDF document that is ready to be shared.

Perfecting Your PPT with WPS AI

WPS AI is a sharp and easy-to-use feature that is available with the WPS Premium version. As a student, sometimes it can be lengthy to draft presentation decks on multiple topics and courses. This is where WPS AI has helped me in my academic journey. To use the WPS AI feature in making PPTs, here are a few simple steps to follow:

Step 1: Open Powerpoint in WPS Office.

Step 2: Click on the WPS AI widget on the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Step 3: In the pop-up window, you can now enter the prompt you want or choose from the existing prompts.

Step 4: Check the Body Content Included option, and set the length of your content according to your preference. Options included here are:

Short-length

Medium-length

Long-length

Step 5: Click Next, then Generate.

You will now have a professional presentation ready for use and presenting.

3. What are the benefits of converting PDF documents into PowerPoint presentations?

Here are some advantages of converting PDF to PowerPoint:

Enhanced Organization: PowerPoint presentations offer a structured format that helps you organize information more effectively, making it easier to study or present.

Visual Appeal: PowerPoint allows you to incorporate visuals such as images, charts, and graphs, making your presentation more engaging and visually appealing.

Customization: With PowerPoint, you have the flexibility to customize the layout, design, and formatting of your slides to suit your preferences or requirements.

Interactive Features: PowerPoint presentations can include interactive elements such as hyperlinks, animations, and multimedia, enhancing the overall learning experience for your audience.

Presentation Preparation: Converting PDF to PowerPoint helps you prepare for presentations by breaking down complex information into concise, visually appealing slides.

Experience the Ease of Converting With WPS Office

I understand that editing PPT files is pivotal to academic success. In my time as a student, I also often struggled with editing PPTs when teachers shared them as a PDF file. Fortunately, now the WPS Office feature of seamless conversion to PPT for free has saved many hours and effort. It is now easier to study and make notes alongside the material and lecture notes shared by your professor. You can try converting your PDF to PPT with WPS Office too.

Mississippi college’s first rehab, counseling symposium uncovers emerging trends in the industry.

Lisa Busby Thomas, assistant professor in the Department of Counseling at MC and president of the Mississippi Chapter of the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals, said “Emerging Trends in Rehabilitation, Counseling, and LCP Practices” will attract a diverse group of professionals to Mississippi College.

Dozens of rehabilitation and counseling professionals throughout the Southeast will visit the Mississippi College campus on Friday, Aug. 9, to explore the latest developments within their ever-evolving industry.

Sponsored by the Mississippi Chapter of the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals and MC’s Doctor of Professional Counseling Program, the daylong symposium, “Emerging Trends in Rehabilitation, Counseling, and LCP Practices,” will include presentations by some of the area’s leading professionals and will conclude with an engaging panel discussion among the guest speakers.

The daylong event will begin at 8:30 a.m. in Anderson Hall in the B.C. Rogers Student Center. Virtual attendees may also join the conference online.

Lisa Busby Thomas, assistant professor in the Department of Counseling at MC and president of the Mississippi Chapter of the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals, said the conference is expected to attract a diverse group of counselors, life care planners, physicians, nurses, attorneys, social workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and others to the Clinton campus. The IARP is the premier organization serving more than 2,500 professionals in the private rehabilitation industry.

“We’re thrilled for Mississippi College to host this event and for our D.P.C. Program to be a featured sponsor,” Thomas said. “Partnering with the local chapter of the nation’s premier rehab professional association adds to the prestige of MC’s program.

“The conference provides an opportunity for professionals to network with one another and to hear discussions of the hottest topics in the field.”

Mississippi College’s online Doctorate in Professional Counseling Program has been recognized as one of the most affordable online doctoral programs in the nation. Thomas said the event will provide an opportunity to recruit students for the program.

“This program is not just for students in Mississippi – since it’s virtual, anyone in the U.S. can earn a degree from our program,” she said.

A pair of Mississippi College faculty members will join experts in the field of rehabilitation and counseling as keynote speakers at the conference.

Kayla Acklin, assistant professor and department chair in the Department of Counseling at MC, will discuss “Suicide Assessment and Treatment,” while Amy Vlach, assistant professor of psychology and counseling, will present “Aspects of Trauma and Addiction.”

Acklin obtained her Doctor of Philosophy in counselor education and supervision at Duquesne University before joining the MC faculty. Her clinical and research specialties include perinatal mental health and wellness, trauma counseling, and suicide assessment and prevention.

A Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Vlach obtained her Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision from the University of Mississippi. She worked as a therapist in various clinical settings and has been a professor in the D.P.C. Program at MC since 2013.

Dr. Howard Katz, medical director of neuro rehab care at NRC TASS/Asher’s House in Crystal Springs, the TASS Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, REMED of Louisiana in Covington, and Neuro Rehab Care in Hammond, Louisiana, and Gini Gentry, his nurse practitioner, will give the opening presentation, “Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation.”

“They will showcase the Virtual Reality system being used in rehabilitation today,” Thomas said. “It is a unique system that we’re excited to learn more about.”

Board-certified in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation and board-certified in the subspecialties of spinal cord injury medicine and brain injury medicine, Katz received his medical degree from the University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences and completed his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Tufts New England Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Chair of the Board of Directors of the Brain Injury Association of Mississippi and the Mississippi chapter of the United Spinal Association, he is certified by the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners.

Chris Wallace, director of Methodist Orthotics and Prosthetics, a division of the Methodist Rehabilitation Center in Jackson, will discuss “Current and Emerging Technologies in the Treatment of Limb Loss.”

Certified in orthotics and prosthetics by the American Board for Certification and a fellow of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists, Wallace obtained his Masters of Health Science from the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He has more than 35 years of clinical and technical experience in orthotics and prosthetics, overseas operations, and clinical care with MRC.

Christopher Skerritt, a vocational rehabilitation expert based in Smithfield, Rhode Island, and Paul Bourgeois, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of New Haven, will cover “Artificial Intelligence Use in Practices.”

Skerritt earned his Masters of Education in rehabilitation counseling at Springfield College, Massachusetts. An expert in life care planning, assistive technologies, career counseling, psychometric test administration and analysis, and medical cost projections, he has a background in rehabilitation needs, vocational evaluations, labor market analysis, employability assessments, and Social Security vocational issues.

A Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and national certified counselor, Bourgeois obtained his doctorate in rehabilitation counselor education from the University of Arizona. He has more than a decade of experience as a professor, researcher, rehabilitation counselor, and vocational consultant.

Members of the Board of the Mississippi Chapter of the IARP will conclude the session with a lively panel discussion on “Ethical Considerations in Rehabilitation and Life Care Planning.” Throughout the conference, exhibitors will showcase the latest products, and attendees will receive information for further study.

The event is free of charge for students and faculty, $25 for IARP members, and $75 for non-members. Continuing education credit is available for a wide range of disciplines. For more information or to register, click here or email Thomas at [email protected] .

Western massachusetts writing project hosts best practices in teaching writing conference.

Dr. Jennifer DiGrazia and Joe Courchesne, from the Western Massachusetts Writing Project. They stand side by side and smile.

Dr. Jennifer DiGrazia and Joe Courchesne from the 2023 WMWP AI Workshop. Courchesne was also one of the presenters for this year's Best Practices in the Teaching of Writing conference.

From the 2024 WMWP's Best Practices for Teachers conference. a speaker stands before rows of participants as she explains their agenda.

The Western Massachusetts Writing Project (WMWP), a branch of the National Writing Project (NWP), is one of 184 sites nationwide committed to empowering K-16 educators through reflective scholarship and teachers teaching teachers. The NWP operates under three main tenets, which maintain that teachers are the best teachers for other teachers, teachers should be leaders, and teachers should engage with reflective scholarship in their own classes. Currently, the WMWP is housed within the Office for Teacher Licensure, Accreditation, and Outreach at Westfield State University, supervised by Dr. Megan Kennedy and co-located at UMass Amherst.

On April 27, WMWP held its Best Practices in the Teaching of Writing conference, providing a platform for teachers to present research initiated during the 2023 Summer Leadership Institute. Throughout the past year, educators gathered data on projects ranging from fostering classroom discussions to implementing mindfulness strategies and more. The conference also featured a keynote address by Dr. Anne Elrod Whitney from Penn State College of Education. One participant wrote, “Anne Elrod Whitney was tremendous. She offered perspectives I've never thought about, particularly the way she transformed annoyance with those who tell her what and how to teach into a beautiful learning experience for her students. Thanks for a great conference!”

“We think about how we create meaningful transfer from kindergarten and up through graduation from college around writing instruction,” Dr. Jennifer DiGrazia, Professor of English and site director for the WMWP said. “How do we facilitate that? It’s amazing what happens when you get teachers talking to one another.”

From the 2024 WMWP's Best Practices for Teachers conference. A woman presents her research before two rows of participants. Two projector screens are on the wall as she presents.

The event also highlighted presentations from University alumni, reflecting Westfield State’s commitment to excellence and ongoing success. Presenters included Joe Courchesne, Spencer Van Tassel, Simone LaPlant, and alum Kevin Hodgson, a sixth-grade teacher at Norris Elementary School. Kevin, along with Leslie Skantz-Hodgson, are recent recipients of a MacArthur Grant through the NWP, which will take place this upcoming year.

As part of Dr. DiGrazia’s upper level writing pedagogy class, she required her students to attend this WMWP conference so they are exposed to the realities of teaching as well as the joy which comes from being part of a supportive community of teachers.

“It was the first time we’ve come together since COVID-19 in person,” she said. “The last three conferences have been online, and we had over 50 people, which is a pretty good turnout for a local conference. I think it went great. The energy was good.” Attendees earn professional development points toward recertification.

Dr. DiGrazia also emphasized the networking opportunities WMWP conferences provide. “The students in my class appreciated it too, because it’s an opportunity for them to network with teachers in the area and find out more about what it’s really like to teach,” she added. “I think they get a particular view of it while they’re still kind of separate from the school systems, so it’s a chance to talk to real people doing what they’re eventually going to do.”

English Professor Wyatt Hermansen noted, “We're so lucky to host WMWP on our campus. I look forward to more events like today's conference.” Looking ahead, the WMWP will host the second Summer Institute Leadership conference 2024 in July, a staple event leading to next year's presentations.
