Interactive presentation

Today I had a presentation with demo.
Feedback - fine, but too interactive...

Question:
How to switch between 4 applications without confusing the listeners?

Question 2:
Have somebody seen good pictures/slides explaning how RSS works and what advantages it has?
Today it was quite difficult to explain it only with hands....

Hey Ira,

I have two tipps regarding presentations from my past as a Microsoft Trainer:

* In the System "Control Panel", "Mouse", "Pointer options", activate "Show position of mouse when CTRL-key is pressed". This allows the viewers to "find what you are pointing at"

* There is a super little tool from SysInternals called "ZoomIt" that allows you to Zoom into sections of the screen / draw and write text on the screen. I use this sometimes when talking about the functions of a complex screen.

Apart from the above, learning the "Alt-Tab" key-combination to switch between applications instead of using the mouse might be helpful because it looks less clumsy...

Cheers,

Simon
