As followed by someone who shall remain nameless…

How not to give a presentation to a group of high school/college/university students:

1. Use Comic Sans and shocking pink in the PowerPoint presentation.
2. Demean your audience by calling them “children” or “kids”.
3. Fumble with the technology aspect of things and then try and make do by just playing the video that should have played in PowerPoint in RealPlayer.
4. Attempt to relate to your audience by pointing out that you are, in fact, a pushy parent.
5. Pick on people in the audience to try and demonstrate your point.
   • Especially at random, with something like a teddy bear or a smiley-face sticker hidden under the seat.
6. Don’t bother to adapt your presentation for your audience.
7. Get your audience to fill out worksheets.
   • On dead trees.
8. Overrun.
