Multimedia Presentation

I suppose I liked my subject because I felt like it was an interesting take on the old classic of making students' stories come to life. I learned that kids are trusted a lot more now than they were. I feel I would have never been allowed to hold and work with expensive equipment like green screens and cameras, yet that seems to be the norm. I suppose I should have been more specific in my presentation, but I was just trying to limit myself to the three minutes or less. I did everything in my presentation that I didn't want to do. I spoke too fast and hesitated over words; I was incredibly awkward. My fault is in my ability to be concise. In comparison to other presentations, mine was the only one that didn't go over the time limit, and other presentations went into more detail which I imagine made them more interesting.

Overall, since every presentation went over time, they certainly dragged on. All presentations included the requirements for the assignment, and they were all somewhat interesting. Future advice: keep presentations simple and focus on one aspect because once the presenter tries to include too much, the ultimate message is lost.

My two favorite presentations were from Tyler and Kristin. Tyler's iceberg visual helped get his message across and he also demonstrated excellent communication skills. I liked Kristin's because she didn't use too many words on the slides, and the words she did use added to the presentation. Her design was neat and tidy, and her video was actually relevant to her presentation.

  1. Hi Sarah,
    I really enjoyed your presentation. It was streamlined and got your point across without "killing us with powerpoint". It was an interesting idea I hadn't even thought about because our generation never had the same kind of digital opportunities when we were younger.

  2. Sara! Your presentation was great. Your slideshow was attractive and supported your presentation. The high quality images, the layout, and the knowledge you had on your article made the presentation very professional.
