Title: One and Two-Point Perspective
Author: Emily Valenza
Date: Oct 17, 2012
Link: https://www.slideshare.net/emilyvalenza/one-and-two-point-perspective?from_action=save

Mayer's principles demonstrated in this slideshare:

Signaling Principle: The slides visually  highlight the information discussed in the text.

Temporal Contiguity Principle: The words are presented simultaneously with the images. The words are kept to a minimum with one topic per slide and they directly relate to the slide topic.

Multimedia Principle: Every slide contains a graphic to illustrate the words. Each slide has one idea and the image relates to that idea and highlights the important topic/addition to each piece.

Overall, this presentation is nicely designed. It has a simple layout and is broken down to show each step of drawing in one- and two-point perspective. The additions/subtractions are highlighted to show the user what to add/subtract with each step in order to accomplish the goal of the project. It also shows real-world examples of one-point perspective to see how it is prevalent in every aspect of our lives. Users can easily follow along step-by step and can make the real-world connections that lead to deeper understanding and longer-lasting learning.

Title: Game On! Integrating Games and Simulations in the Classroom

Link:  https://www.slideshare.net/brianhousand/game-on-iagc-2016

Mayer’s Principles: Coherence Principle, Temporal Contiguity Principle,

Coherence Principle – In the presentation, the author uses only the words necessary to understand the concept. In the examples of games recommended for the classroom, only the images of the games are used. The images are very basic and aesthetically pleasing. There is not a lot of excess wording or information regarding the games.

Spatial Contiguity Principle – This is utilized throughout the presentation.

The words are labeled directly on the images or right next to. When describing what exactly a game is, the author lists three main concepts (rules, objectives, and obstacles) and places them on three different colored circles. This helps the information to stand out and stand alone. In the following slides, Housand uses a basic flow chart to explain some benefits of games. The words are labeled directly on the squares for the flow chart.

"How Much Your Yearbook Really Costs"
Author: TreeRing
Published: Feb 23, 2015

I didn't know it at first, but it turns out this presentation is a promotion for a yearbook company. It is trying to convince users to go with their company for purchasing yearbooks because they do not have hidden costs. Regardless of its purpose as an ad, it actually does give some interesting information about the cost of a yearbook.  It also does a really nice job of adhering to Mayer's Coherence Principle, Signaling Principle, and Personalization Principle.
Coherence Principle can be seen in the simplicity of the slide design. The slides have a narrator character, one or two graphics, and the main text, which is minimal. The viewer knows exactly where to focus their attention, and the graphics that are used are very evident of the topics: money, contracts, and questions.
This leads to the second principle, the Signaling Principle. The slide show is designed so that the on screen narrator is a teacher and the screen is a chalkboard. The teacher wields a pointer, and so as new information comes on the screen, the pointer moves to the new information. It is placed close together so there is no question what has just been added. The narrator's facial expression also changes to signal how the viewer should be feeling as the new information comes on the screen.
Finally, the slideshow uses the Personalization Principle. The format is very conversational. It incorporates rhetorical questions that make the viewer feel included, like "Seems straightforward, right?" "It's not."
The tone of the show is very conversational as if the viewer is receiving advice from a trusted friend who is just looking out for their best interest. This makes sense when one remembers the purpose of the slideshow is to encourage the viewer to purchase yearbooks from TreeRing. Overall, whoever designed the slideshow knew all about Mayer's Principles and incorporated many of them.

"The Secret Psychology of Snapchat"
Author: Nir Eyal
Published: April 14, 2015

This presentation is an intorduction to the Snapchat app for those who are unfamiliar with it - it is useful for people who work in marketing to be able to understand how and why people use the Snapchat app.
The Mayer's principles that are demonstrated are Signaling Principle,  Pre-Training Principle, and Multimedia principle.
Signaling principle is evident because the author presents a sort of table of contents at the beginning of the presentation, and later refers back to this when each "chapter" begins within the presentation, giving the viewer an idea of what they will be learning in each segment.
Pre-training principle is evident because the author assumes that the viewer has no prior knowledge of what Snapchat is, and gives a brief intro of terms and ways to use the app before diving into the psychology behind its users.
The multimedia principle is evident because the presentation makes excellent use of both graphics and text to get the information across. Snapchat would be almost impossible to explain without screenshot images, and this presentation integratges them well, mixing text-only slides with graphic-and-text slides.

Title: ASL Deaf History Timeline
Author: Amy LC
Published: Oct 22, 2012

The Mayer's principles that evidenced in this presentation are:

1. Pre-training Principle People learn better from a multimedia lesson when they know the names and characteristics of the main concepts.

This presentation is a timeline utilizing names and dates of important people and events relevant to Deaf history. These names and events are familiar to the students. Being able to see how they fit into a timeline helps the students to make deeper connections.
2. Multimedia Principle People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone.

In addition to the familiarity  of the names and events, the addition of photos and images brings the information to life for the students. Students can see the names of the people or events and then connect it to a photo. When they see those photos at other times they will relate them to the information that they have already learned.

Title: Three Simple Steps to Improve your Photography

Author: Yang Ao Wei

Published: October 11, 2015

The Mayer’s principles that are demonstrated in this SlideShare are: Multimedia, Segmenting, Spatial, and Signaling.

The Multimedia Principle is found in the variety of photography examples and supporting words illustrating the technique or lack of. The combination of words and pictures also demonstrate the Spatial Contiguity principle by placing all words, along with thumbs up or down graphic, next to the correlating photography example. In addition, I believe that by the author providing a thumbs up and down example helps support the learner’s understanding of the words.

The Segmenting Principle is found in the design of the slides by each tip being individually broken down with words and photography examples. Each of the photography tips Level Horizon, Adjust Angle, and Rule of Thirds has a series of slides dedicated to focusing on the appropriate use of this technique. The thumbs up or down graphic eliminate wordy examples and can even provide an opportunity for discussion in a classroom setting. I believe the simplicity helps prevent distraction as well. However I have to add, due to the simplicity I do see some Coherence Principle because it’s eliminating extra information, but it is arguable that the subject of the pictures could potentially be a distraction…

Lastly, I can see a bit of the Signaling Principle because the author is highlighting the most important aspects of each tip/technique. Photography can be very in depth and complicated and this SlideShare focuses on merely the basics for improving picture taking.

"How To Find Your Life Purpose (Before It's Too Late!)"
Author: Dan Benoni
Published: November 18, 2015

This presentation demonstrates the use of Mayer's Multimedia Principle which says that learners learn more effectively from words and picture than they do with just words alone. In this presentation, Benoni expertly crafts each slide with relevant pictures and words that grab the viewer's interest attention as they read.

Mayer's Personalization Principle is also on display in this presentation. Benoni takes a conversational style that addresses learners directly through phrases that contain the word "you." For example, on slide 6 he says "Let me ask you one question." The title of the presentation and the tips he gives throughout the presentation are addressed directory towards the reader in an informal method.

"24 Books You've Never Heard Of - But Will Change Your Life"
Author: Ryan Holliday
Published: April 13th, 2014

When I read the slideshow I came across many of Mayer's principles. In this slideshow Ryan broke down each slide (segmenting) for just one book. This made it very easy to focus on each book and be able to read each summary he had and reasons why he choose that book. This segmenting principle allows the reader to really focus on each book individually, rather than being overwhelmed with multiple books. Another principle that jumped out to me was the spatial continguency principle. For each book Ryan had a great layout where he had a nice sized picture of the book, followed by large font summary of the book. This made it very easy to read each slide.

"Chuck Norris Teaches the Circle of Fifths"

Author:  Sarah Busch

Published: April 26, 2016

Being introduced to this site for the first time I spent much of my time viewing the music presentations.  One of the challenges was simply choosing one to review.  My criteria as I imagine it was for all of us was to find a slide show that was useful and presented in a way that my kids would enjoy and gain relevant information from.  After watching a plethora of slide shows this one caught my attention on the first view.  While not the greatest it presented an extremely difficult concept in well thought out, accurate steps and in an entertaining way.

Many of Mayer’s principles were followed in Sarah’s presentation.  She does a good job of using the signaling principle by using different colors and large bold typefor the major concepts and ideas.  Spatial Contiguity can be found in the way she places those points on the circle as it is built.  The main ideas are presentedboth as a single idea then placed next to a graphic on the slide.  And while pre-training can only be hoped for when you reach this point with your students I believethe thing that caused this show to stand out was her script and the characters.  The multimedia and personalization principles really help each other out in this slide presentation.  This more than anything makes the show click.  Besides presenting the information in a logical, easy to understand way the conversation between Chuck and Pythagoras makes it interesting and keeps the learners attention.  It also opens up more possibilities for across subject conversation.  We have been telling our young musicians for years that music covers all subject areas and by introducing Pythagoras this is reinforced.

Title: Rocks and the Rock Cycle
Author: Mr. Thurston
Published: December 2, 2007

When I looked through this slideshow, I was able to find many of Mayer's principles. Many slides exhibited the Coherency principle. The slides had the bare minimum information required to share with students. They would be able to focus on the information essential to their learning. Another principle that stood out to me was the signaling principle. On some slides, information is highlighted. This draws student attention to the highlighted material and what they should focus on. The temporal contiguity principle is found on most slides in the presentation. The author created slides that had both words in pictures. This will allow learners to make a deeper connection to what they are trying to understand. While there are many of Mayer's principles represented in this slideshare, these were the three that stood out to me the most.

Title: Make it Multiply!
Author: Jimmy Dodson
Published: July 13, 2008

Three of Mayer's principles used in this slideshow were the Multimedia Principle, the Spatial Contiguity Principle, and the Temporal Contiguity Principle. Focusing on the Multimedia Principle, Dodson must have created this with students in mind, because the pictures were very helpful when visualizing the repeated addition as multiplication. Without pictures, it would have been much more confusing for someone going through this. The Spatial Contiguity Principle was evident because Dodson chose to have the words and numbers correspond next to the pictures on the slides. His pictures would match the multiplication sentence on a given slide. The numbers and words were presented near the pictures. They went hand-in-hand so it was easy to follow and understand. The Temporal Contiguity Principle was evident because the pictures and words were presented at the same time. In doing so, a student can visualize what is being multiplied and see the multiplication sentence represented. Again, it all goes together and because of that I believe it would be easier for a student to understand than if it wasn't.

tTitle: Density, Mass, & Weight
Author: Gary Abud, Jr.
Published: October 23, 2009

In viewing this slideshow, it was very minimalistic, which allowed it to adhere to a number of Mayer's principles, most notably, those which, reduce extraneous information. For instance, the Coherence Principle was followed,  as the presentation was simple and not filled with overly detailed text and examples. There is an absence of distracting graphics or sounds. In fact, there is an absence of any graphics which is an area where this slideshow could be improved.
This slideshow also utilizes the Segmenting Principle, in that it allows the user to navigate the slideshow, rather than simply have it played as a continuous unit. Slides were discrete areas of practice and explanation and it was clear that the reader was to either take in the information or to practice a skill.
I do believe that, though this lacked graphics, I was able to follow it since I have a strong background knowledge in this area. I'm curious to know how well it would serve others.

Title: "Grade 1 Addition and Subtraction"
Author:Christian Niebres
Published/Created: August 15, 2015

There were multiple principles present in this slide share. The two that I seemed to notice more than the others were the multimedia principle and the signaling principle. Many of the slides contained bright red arrows to direct the attention from the vocabulary word to the vocabulary symbol. The creator also created the slides with the words and pictures all on the same page. By doing this, students are able to see the new vocabulary words with the symbol that is representing this term. I found this slide share to be very beneficial in teaching young students the components to addition and subtraction number sentences. I believe I will use this within my own classroom to re-teach students that need extra help. With the simplicity of this presentation and the cleanness of the slides, I believe students would be able to learn the material as well as complete the simple tasks at hand.

Title: The Civil War: 1861-1865
Author: Luis Nudel
Published/Created: February 21, 2010.

Training principles used: Looking at this slide show on the Civil War, the two principles that were used throughout the presentation were the multimedia principle and the spatial contiguity principle. In this slide share presentation, the use of text and images is used very well. Students have the ability to go through this presentation and not only read about the important battles that took place during this brutal war but, they are able to see images of how catastrophic these battles were to both the Confederate and Union armies. The images give the students a sense of what fighting was like during this time period compared to today’s style of combat fighting. Students see the words and the numbers on the screen and realize just how many people lost their lives fighting for what they believed in and that is what war is. In terms of spatial contiguity, students are seeing these words on a screen near to them and because of this; they are more in tuned with what is actually going on in a given presentation. It allows them to be more dialed in and focused on the topic at hand. They get to see first-hand the images and breakdown of the battles and it almost makes them feel or realize that they are in the shoes of a soldier or how they would react in such a catastrophic battle like this. This presentation breaks down the Civil War quite well and it doesn’t overdo any of the battles. It keeps the information short and easy to understand and breakdown and I believe will be a benefit to older age groups who truly breakdown how this war impacted the United States.

"Force Push or Pull 2"
Made by,  guest42d3f331
May 2, 2010

The creator of this presentation didn't apply a ton of detail or "flare" and I believe that's what makes it follow a lot of Mayer's Principles. One principle that I found in the presentation was the Spacial Contiguity Principle. This principle states that people will learn more if the print is near the graphics than far from it. All of the slides have print near the photos and are correctly labeled. Learners will not be confused when learning about the difference between a push and a pull. The other principle that I found was the Coherence Principle which states that learners learn best when there isn't as much extra "stuff." This presentation keeps it simple and yet allows the learner to understand the difference between push/pull and demonstrate their knowledge as well.

"Classifying Polynomials"
Made by, Bernadeth Mesterio

October 15, 2011

There were many of Mayer’s principles present in this presentation.  The two that stuck out to me the most were the signaling principle and the multimedia principle.  In many of the presenter’s sides, she highlighted many of the essential words.  For example, when she was discussing how to classify a polynomial, she put the words, “degree” and “exponent” in capital letters, different colored font, and in a bigger size font.  This emphasized the importance of these characteristics when classifying a polynomial.  The presenter also did a great job of using the multimedia principle.  When she was explaining new vocabulary words, she also included pictures that helped give the viewer a visual of what the presenter was talking about.  For example, when discussing a polynomial with two terms, she had a picture of a bicycle because “bi” refers to two.  This made a clear connection to the new term binomial.
