The power of the medium

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.

Learning new things makes your presenting skills stronger

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

The power of the internet

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 Critque

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

Bringing it all together

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.

The End

Special Thanks to Dave Engen for teaching us all these great skills
