Blue Cohort Presentations Rule!

I enjoyed the presentations in class today. They were entertaining and informational. Everyone used a bunch of pictures which were relevant to their topic and didn't distract from the presentations, but added to them. It was obvious that everybody put time and effort into them and did a good job in front of the class. Many of the presentations employed humor very well. I particularly liked the Office Space spoof in David's presentation and Zach talking about lasers.

A few people read from notes or papers a decent amount during their presentations, which made them less engaging as those who didn't. It is hard to be in front of people sometimes and having notes can be very helpful. This is something I am working on, like others in our class. It is our goal to be comfortable in front of people and kids.

I would like to improve my presentation by talking about the pictures in my power point and incorporating smart art somewhere. Also, I would like to do a longer presentation because I felt I had to be very simplistic in how I presented my topic because of the time constraints.

I like to use power point for presentations because it is engaging for the audience and easy to take notes off of it. I plan on using it as a teacher but not all of the time.
