Capstone Presentation Review

For the pluses one would be finishing it, but it was a good thing to have the presentation for practice so when I have to do an interview or something I will be prepared for the future for maybe a job. Then the minuses is all the preparing I had to do for this simple little presentation that took five minutes...all the research I did was pretty pointless.

Perfect Presentation Post

1. One of the most boring times is when I was in a speech class and a student was giving a presentation on basketball. I was completely bored! I can't even remember a single thing about it besides the fact that it was about basketball. One of the good presentations that I've seen actually happened in the same speech class. It was given by my speech professor trying to demonstrate on how a good presentation looks.

2. Well one way of proving multitasking deters progress is comparing it to a personal situation that happens to me a lot. I can be sitting at home trying to make a presentation or writing a paper and I'll be distracted by my family or my dog (she loves attention), I'll start trying to rush through just so I can get it over with or my work will turn out bad because I'm giving attention to my dog while writing a paper.

3. Information I can use would be reliable sources. I could also have someone try to demonstrate it. Have them go through the process. Get an example of them not working out and trying to work then wait a couple days and have them exercise and do work and see how much better they do.

4. I can go back through and try to take the wording out of my presentation and try to find visual representation that can still get the point across. Overall it would help everything look better and help people remember them.

5. Like it was mentioned in the presentation most of the power point slides I/or anybody else has really made their presentations look boring and filled with so much information that it is hard to pay attention and people get lost, but if you add more popping visual effects then people remember information a lot easier.

Unit 2: Blog 1

My proposal is pretty much the same as it was in the beginning. I'm creating a website that informs parents the health problems their children are at risk for when they are overweight/obese. I will also have a game that is going to help children loose weight. Working with the PSA video has made me want to make a better/ more professional one that I want to put on my website. As of right now I am still using the website as my main thing. I downloaded a template for my website and will be filling it in with my information so it looks more descent. I didn't choose a new technology because my plan has been pretty contestant.           .
