Today in class we all did power point presentations that had to include a plethora of graphics and such! I really enjoyed all of the presentations in our class today. I will not name many names, but I have to say that I really super enjoyed Brandon's and Steven's presentations. They were so fun and interactive. Music is near and dear to my heart so I am always up for looking at music theory, and I was humbled to see how little I know about Geography. I also really enjoyed how many awesome pitctures were used during the presentations. It is awesome to see the work that people put into these and the creative pictures, videos, and sounds that were included. I also loved the use of humor by many people.
Just a few not so engaging awesome things: I do not enjoy when presenters just stand at the podium and read mainly from note sheets, it's a little boring. Also when sound clips or movie clips don't work properly, it is a little distracting and disruptive. But it is great when that doesn't trip a presenter up and they just roll with it!
I think one thing I could do to improve for next time is to talk more about all of the awesome pictures I included in my presentation. I am really excited about the pictures I included, I realize I should have talked more about them. I liked how other presenters used a picture as a jumping off point for a really cool anecdote about their subject.
I love using power point presentations. When used properly, they can be such an effective way to convey information and you can make them funny, exciting, and engaging. There are definitely cons to a power point if you use them ALL the time, or if you are just a boring presenter, or if your presentations are confusing and complicated. But I love them and I love making them as exciting as I can and funny while still conveying everything I am trying to get across.
Nice job everyone!!
