Presntation

This project on creating a presentation that I could share online was quite fun. I used a program called Prezi and it turned a boring power point into a new and unique presentation. I have never used any program besides power point to create my presentations; but now that I know about way more exciting and interesting ways to present I doubt I will return. Here is the URL to my Prezi presentation http://prezi.com/skm6gt56enpi/resturant/. As well as creating this I was required to capture my voice and present it as if I were actually giving the presentation. For this I used Jing and captured my voice over the video of the presentation. To get to this presentation just use this URL http://www.screencast.com/t/rGJRy7Yl.

Now it is time to do some self critique using the evaluation rubric. Overall I believe that the presentation was very interesting, especially how it was presented. However, After using the rubric and after evaluating somebody's presentation I discovered several wrongdoings of my own. The first thing I discovered wrong was that the mouse pointer was all over the screen and was quite distracting from what the speaker was saying. I believe however that the presentation would grab most peoples attention within the first 30 seconds just because of the uniqueness that Prezi offers to the presenter.

I did not ask any questions in the presentation which is a negative on the rubric and did not seem to discuss anything outside of the slides too much. The readability of the presentation was excellent in my opinion. Anytime white words are on black I find it extremely easy to read.

Finally I believe that perhaps some questions were overlooked in the presentation. This is a major drawback because this was an online presentation where the audience can not simply raise a hand and ask the question but must take time to send a question through email or by comments which is not as efficient as being able to physically ask the question.

I learned a great deal during this project about how to capture voice and use it to create an online presentation that is available to anyone to watch. As well I learned a great deal about all the different web 2.0 tools that you can use to enhance your presentation. I believe that all of these tools will help greatly in acquiring new clients or investors in any future business transactions where a presentation is needed.
