This document discusses key aspects of developing effective presentation skills. It emphasizes the importance of preparation, including understanding the audience's needs and structuring the presentation accordingly. The presentation should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, and utilize techniques like stories, questions, or facts to engage the audience. Presenters are advised to practice active delivery through movement, eye contact, and vocal variations, and to carefully consider the use of visual aids. Overall messages are the critical role of preparation, interacting with the audience, and channeling nerves into an effective performance.
The following presentation consists of various points to be remembered while giving a presentation, why should we give a presentation, how to plan a good presentation, some useful tips, presentation sequence,etc.

Wireless Sensing by Passive Radiofrequency Identification: Research, Systems ...RADIO6ENSE Srl
RADIO6ENSE is a spin-off of the University of Roma "Tor Vergata", aiming at developing short-range distributed RFID sensing technology to discreetly measure and quantify our interaction with things and with the surrounding spaces.
RADIO6ENSE designs and develops RFID Sensing and Identification Platforms for Industrial, Civil, Aerospace and Biomedical applications for Smart Cities and the emerging Internet of Things.
Teacher's Rock: Building Teacher Morale in the Age of AccountabilitytheCSCL
Are you wondering how to increase teacher morale in your school? In Dr. Preble's new presentation, you can learn how to reduce your school's burnout rate for teachers, lower employee stress, and generally improve the morale of you and your teachers today!

The idea behind RFID technology is similar to the one used for barcodes. However, it brings many advantages over barcodes since the information can be transmitted in a much longer range using a radiofrequency Tag.
The Tags are electronic labels, basically made with a microchip surrounded by a small antenna that can be activated by an electromagnetic field generated by a RFID Reader and can be rewritten many times.
RFID technology can apply to a wide variety of scenarios, i.e.:
- to monitor people and animals in medical or veterinarian environments (for example, the passive-tags used for pervasive temperature monitoring of people and objects);
- in the building industry, to measure concrete maturity, or to monitor humidity and corrosion of infrastructures;
- for precision farming and large retailers, to monitor cold chains of food and drugs;
- in logistics, to avoid collisions among lift trucks and operators;
- by shipping carriers, for shipment monitoring and tracking.
RADIO6ENSE, as technology developer, offers the following RFID sensors and systems:
T-Tags: Battery-less temperature tags, able to measure and wireless transmit the temperature of objects and their surrounding environment.
RFID TAGS (T-tags) are new generation wireless passive sensors used to pervasively measure temperature of people, objects, and environments.
WHAT DOES “PASSIVE SENSORS” MEAN?
A passive sensor is a battery-less tag activated by a radiofrequency reader that communicates with it through an electromagnetic field.
The Reader’s job is to activate the tag and to decode the signal received from it.
However T-Tag sensors work in both passive (no battery required) and battery-assisted (BAP) mode and we can customize them in size and shape.
They are suited to be placed over any kind of surface including metals and even the human body to collect body temperature.
Because of their low cost, T-Tags can be moreover used in applications wherein a large number of sensors is required.
For example, we have developed tags that can be mixed with concrete, or powders like soil, or sand, to measure deep temperatures.
SOME POSSIBLE T-TAGS APPLICATIONS:
1) Building Industry: T-Tag used to monitor buildings like houses, bridges, tunnels, and industrial plant.
2) Large-Scale Retail Trade and Pharmaceutical Industry: T-Tags are used to monitor the cold-chain in food and pharma. Inserted into pharmacy refrigerators or thermal bags, they can be used for long term monitoring of perishable food or in clinical studies.
3) Domotic systems: T-Tags integrated with modern domotic technologies, can be used to obtain a uniform air-conditioning, reducing energetic costs.
4) Human Body Temperature monitoring: t-tags can also be used for wireless measures of human body temperature.
5) In healthcare applications, for example, T-Tags may support the optimization of clinic procedures and improve patients and operators safety.

2. Presentation Skills
Preparation/ Planning is the first step on the ladder to
success
Aspects in the development of a good presentation
Subject Centered (Material)
Audience Centered (Audience)
Self Centered (Self)
“I want (who) to (what) (where, when and how)
because (why)”
3. Presentation Skills
Helpers
Who is your audience?
What do you want to present (content)?
Why do you want to present (purpose)?
Where will you be presenting (place)?
How do you want to present (words to be
used or not, slides to be used)
4. Presentation Skills
Preparation: Audience Analysis
What is the audience interested in
What does the audience want
What does the audience already know and needs
to know
What are their needs, expectations from this
presentation
How will the audience benefit from this
presentation
5. Presentation Skills
Structure the content in line with the
audience’s needs
What do you want to tell the audience?
What is your objective?
Prepare keeping in mind the time allotted
Anticipate the questions and prepare
Collect material from a variety of sources
Arrange points logically and sequentially
Prepare handouts as well
6. Presentation Skills
Structuring the presentation
2 to 2.5 mins--- opening/beginning
20 to 21 mins--- middle section
2 to 3 mins --- closing/end
5 mins --- questions
7. Presentation Skills
The Begining
Should be carefully designed
Get attention
- shock, humour, question, story, facts &figures
- well rehearsed yet natural
Motivate audience to listen
- listen to their needs
8. Presentation Skills
Preparation – Structure
Sequence should be logical & understandable
Interim summaries- Recaps
Value of visual aids-flip charts, handouts etc.
Use the 4 Ps
Position Possibilities
Problem Proposals
9. Presentation Skills
Prepare Closing
Last 2 to 2.5 minutes are as critical as the
first five minutes for a successful
presentation
Summarize- highlight important points
Suggest action- what to do and when, where
and how to do it
10. Presentation Skills
Stage Fright
Everyone has it to some degree
Can be used constructively
Key issue is not elimination of fear
Instead channel the energy it generates for
an effective presentation
11. Presentation Skills
Effective Delivery
Be active - move
Be purposeful - controlled gestures
Variations – vocal (pitch, volume, rate)
Be natural
Be direct – don’t just talk in front of the
audience talk to them
12. Group Facilitation
Verbal Communication- barriers
Speaking too fast
Using jargon
Tone and content
Complicated or ambiguous language
Not questioning
Physical State of the audience
13. Presentation Skills
Sensitivity to the audience
“see” the audience
Take non-verbal feedback
-congruent and incongruent body language
Modify to meet audience needs
Don’t just make it as a presentation
14. Presentation Skills
Handling Questions
Do not get confused
You are not supposed to know everything
Anticipate and keep answers ready
Sometime questions themselves give you a
lead to highlight your point of view
15. Presentation Skills
Visual Aids
While using a over head projector face the
audience while talking
Point with a pen
Appropriate lighting
Watch the colours
Ensure clear visibility
Not more than 10 lines, 10 words per line
16. Presentation Skills
So to conclude :
Always prepare
Channelize you fear
Interact with your audience
Presentation is like an iceberg, the delivery is only a tip. The major chunk is the time and effort spent in planning and preparing for the presentation.
