2.  Throughout the class we were taught different ways to
present information to an audience.
 After going throught the class I realized there is that goes
into presenting something than just thinking of a topic and
getting info
 Picking the right medium to present your information is key
 Each medium has its own strengths and weaknesses which
make it unique to the others.
The power of the medium

3.  Ive never done anything like this
in a class before, so it was fun to
learn all these new presentation
mediums.
 Being a beginner in these tools
allowed me to have more of an open mind when working
with something I am unfamiliar with
 I learned new things take time to learn
and can’t be rush if your now familiar
Learning new things makes your
presenting skills stronger

4.  This class showed me some of the real power of the
internet. Anyone can read and view your podcasts,
slideshares, blogs ect…
 The internet is the super highway of information you can
almost find anything there
 I learned you must also use the resources available to you.
 The internet links many mediums and
allows instant sharing
The power of the internet

5.  The peer critiques on presentation days I believe was one
of the most beneficial part of our class time I think.
 Hearing what others have to say about your work always
helps you improve on it
 I learned not to take the critiques personal and take it as
an opportunity to make something better
The power of Critque

6.  The big thing I got from this class is I was introduced to an
entire new way of seeing things and presenting things.
 Before this if I had a presentation I would make a
powerpoint stand in front of the class and talk… yay that’s
boring
 Now with so many options and new knowledge I can
impress people and myself with the work I can do.
 Also its no fun being a on trick pony having versatility
makes completing tasks easier.
Bringing it all together
