I have improved the sound quality of the audio. I’ve re-mastered the audio track and loaded a higher bandwidth file to the server.

Excellent......love the simple, clean visuals and limited copy. Your audiences will never suffer from 'death by PowerPoint'. Thanks for the tips.

The visuals and audio track have been updated to properly attribute the falling masses experiment to Galileo. Thanks again for your comments.

Kevin,

Thx for sharing your presentation. I found it extremely helpful. I plan to incorporate your recommendations in my future presentations.

nice presentation but I don’t think most kids today know what a tape recorder is or looks like.....my 8 year old said it was a recorder not bad! My 9 year old son thought maybe it was a radio!

I am working on the correction to the Newton reference. Unfortunately, it requires re-recording the audio track and resyncing it to a new slide deck. Thanks for you catching the error.

Kevin, It is amazing how distracting a factual error is in a presentation. Galileo demonstrated that different masses fall at the same rate before Isaac Newton was born. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_newton

Lucid. It makes sense to perhaps add a point on:
- how to position yourself as a facilitator with a scientific av aid (ppt/keynote et all)
- challenges in sustained attention for a duration of more than 10 mins of darkness!

Thanks & brilliant work!

***CORRECTION*** Please note that I should have attributed the gravity experiment to Galileo, not Newton. I will work to correct the slides and audio, but it will take some time. Thanks to the comment below.

That was the best summary of presentation and learning I’ve seen yet- fantastic work. Great job at adding the science to the art.
