I really enjoyed this morning's class and there were some really good comments from all four groups when we explored the component parts to consider when thinking about how to deliver a presentation that is truly effective. I liked the anecdotal input from many of you too which helped flesh out some of the main points I was making and I hope you enjoyed hearing about some of my own experiences.
When you have decided what you might like to do your talk on, just drop me an e mail so you don't waste any valuable research time. It is likely I will say aye to your suggestion but equally possible is that some of the topics might need a wee bit of refining too! 5 minutes is not a long time, believe me. I will post a few examples of student talks on another post shortly for you to look at the import of structuring.
So Prezi, no, not THAT American President, but Prezi, the innovative presentation tool!
If anybody fancies doing something a little different from PowerPoint, there's a programme called Prezi which opens up similar, yet different, possibilities for anchoring the spoken word.
I've popped a link to Prezi below for you to look at should you be interested.
The same rules apply, structure is key. Always remember that.

Remember, the visuals ANCHOR what you are saying. The programme doesn't present it for you!
See you all again on Monday 29th January and if you have a laptop or similar, please bring it in to the prep classes.
All the best,
Mark
The prezi presentation looks fab but I'll defo stick to power point for now, only just got my head around power point!! - I went to the library today and I'm excited so research my subject tonight just need to build up to the solo part!!!

ReplyDeleteBlimey, you have almost posted within about a minute of me writing and posting this topic! I'm most impressed Kirsty! The keys to success in this assessment are structure, sources, the presenter being comfortable with the subject matter and being open to a variety of questions. I will be there to help with putting it together and any questions that come up along the way. I have just noticed that we have hit the 3,000 mark for number of views on our blog, not bad at all! Cheers, Mark
