I am a college student and want to know what type of information to utilize
in powerpoint. I am creating a "business" and I do not know how to break it
down for what is important into a presentation.
 
This is a really good question. You're not asking about the mechanics of
PowerPoint -- you're really asking about storyboarding and message
development, determining primary and secondary information and things like
that.

Beyond Bullets by Cliff Atkinson and Slideology by Nancy Duarte would be
good inspiration. Then you'll want to talk to some classmates or your
teacher to help determine what's important to show in *your* presentation.

(For example, a business presentation might need financials. There are ways
to present those -- put the important stuff on a slide and give them a
printout of the Excel spreadsheet as a handout, for example -- but you have
to determine what points you need to hit for your content. Brainstorming
with others really helps with that.)
