Week 3- day one
Before class I submitted my presentation slides to the class MeWe page, I also went over my notes for the slides and what to say. Overall I absolutely hate verbal presentations so I am not looking forward to class from that respect but I am also looking forwards to seeing others present their ideas and also getting feedback for myself as at the minute I am stuck on where to continue. I also posted my slides to my blog. The first half of the session we went through everyones verbal presentations. When it comes to my presentation I am not happy about it at all. I feel like I was not to the point with what I was trying to say and left my notes at my desk so I had to stop and get them which made me lose my trail of thought. Id probably give my performance a 2 out of 10. My feedback given was that it was hard to read which I agree with, the colours did not really work together on the projector and it was hard to read, the font was too thin so I may change it to bold. Also need to include references for future.
Before my next presentation:
1- change the background colour
2- make the font bolder
3- use less text
4- include more statistics
5- reference everything
I have been suggested to try a black background with my text coloured, but make it a lighter colour, as well as the type face and shape etc. I will also be strongly including the banner on TradeMe, as well as NZ herald. When looking back Over my strengths and weaknesses, I think a strength was the background information I had gotten about why I had chosen what I had and that I knew what I wanted to be focusing on as well as where it would be promoted. This worked for me as it meant although my performance was not good, the information given as relatively heading in the right direction and the class was able to imagine what I was trying to say.
Towards the end of the session, Amanda went over whats real and not online, this was super helpful as it reminded us all, that not everything we read online is real and that we always need to analysis critically and how we should include this in our presentations and ideas.
