PowerPoint and Pecha Kucha are both tools for slideshow-based presentation, but they present information in drastically different ways. The key difference between their formats is in the timing of the resulting slideshow. This time difference gives each program its benefits and disadvantages. PowerPoint is a Microsoft program used for presentations. The presentations consist of a number of slides, which are individual pages, generally shown in landscape orientation.

all from memory. I never really had to read, analyze, and summarize an article in any of my previous courses, especially in Spanish. While taking Spanish classes in high school, I was just handed a worksheet with specific instructions to prepare a PowerPoint and note cards about casual and nonchallenging things. Even though I was captain of my speech team for my junior and senior year of high school, I have never been the best at giving presentations in front of my peers individually. Doing presentations

technology dominant in all workplaces is PowerPoint. “Some 30 million [PowerPoint] presentations [occur] each day. It 's the second-most-used corporate communication tool after e-mail” (Wahl, 2003). PowerPoint has taken over the corporate world and has become a presenting tool almost all employees use. Sherry Turkle (2004) says PowerPoint is “developed to serve the needs of the corporate boardroom” (p.
There are 4 stages in group development. The first stage is orientation. During this stage of group of development, we got to know who each person was and what they were studying. My group members were Chris Davis, Maria Agosalim, Myra Portillo, Russel Clay, and Abrahana James. Our group leader was Abrahana James, an 18 year old business major. She assigned everyone to a certain task and made sure that everything was in order. Russel Clay, a 21 year old AG Economics major, was responsible for finding
In Jane McGonigal’s Ted Talk, “The game that can give you ten extra years of life” explains how she created a game called “Jane the Concussion Slayer” to help her overcome a concussion that didn’t heal properly. McGonigal describes to her audience the different levels and power-ups she created to make herself feel better. In doing so, she believed it helped her tackle challenges with more creativity, determination, and optimism. McGonigal then concludes her speech and challenges her audience to create
for an Ofsted inspection. In my opinion, as we had a member of the team that has experienced an Ofsted inspection and have used up-to-date information about the Ofsted process, I think that this has validated our information. A strength of our PowerPoint was that it well planned in advance. By this, I mean that we had evaluated ourselves to understand our personal strengths and weaknesses of presenting. For instance, when I evaluated myself, my strengths were that I can create and design the presentation
Reflection on Seminar Presentation Reflection is “an active process of witnessing one’s own experience in order to take a closer look and explore it in depth”. (Amulya, 1999) It is important to reflect back on our actions to develop strategies for survival throughout our lives (Jasper, 2003). It is through reflection that we learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating in the future. There are various models of reflection, I am using Gibbs mode of reflection which entails a six steps process and
Jennifer Egan’s “Great Rock and Roll Pauses” has a very interesting format to the story. Unlike traditional stories that are written in an essay format, it utilizes power point and different types of slides to represent what the character is trying to transfer. This is an analysis of young Alison Blake’s power point diary of her family and their difficulty with communication. What were some of the strengths of using the power point system, specifics on various graphics of slides, and how the family’s
Audience Analysis 1 In this audience analysis, I have addressed a situation in which I am called on to present quarterly sales information at an in-person meeting to a group of stakeholders, including managers, salespeople, and customers. I will explain how I will address the communication to this audience by answering the following questions: (1) What characteristics of the audience must I consider?, (2) What communication channels are appropriate? (3) What are some considerations
1.The final presentation for my international monetary system class was to be delivered by groups of four, and the group members were assigned by our professor. Two members of my group, as I knew, had trouble understanding most materials we had covered in class. Another member of our group, concerning about the negative influences on our group grade if those two members messed up our presentation, suggested that we should leave those two members alone and finish the presentation by ourselves. I totally
On Tuesday before class started, we had a group meeting concerning our oral presentation. Most of us have met a week earlier to discuss what we were going to talk about during the presentation. We put it together on PowerPoint and quickly went over all the slides. One thing I learned about our group is that some of us tend to shy away when doing presentations in front of the class. Voluntarily I wouldn’t go up, depending what the topic is and if I knew much about it. If I prepare for it, I don’t
PowerPoint in Education Over the years education has been making rapid technological advances, it seems like every year there is some new tool entering the classroom. Most of us today don't remember when classrooms were using chalk and slate boards because of the new technology that we have developed. Now we have grown accustom to overheard projectors, television and computers, but what seems to be the new trend of education is Power Point. It is every where we turn, "more than 90% of computer-based

Brief and PowerPoint When doing the Brief Outline, many of my strengths relied on finding credible sources that gave me reliable intel I could use in my speeches. In each one of my speeches, I was required to have one peer-reviewed source journal article, but I went above and beyond those expectations and added two or more peer-reviewed articles in each of my speeches. This helped me create more credibility to my audience as I was presenting each one of my topics. Another strength of the Brief
Interesting enough, I transferred from my local community college in Charles County so I never actually took PHSC 101 or 303. I however took something similar in some aspects to these two particular classes. I learned some very effective lessons to help me teach science. One of the main lessons I learned involved the use of power points. In many of my science classes most always the teachers would use a power point to go over a different chapter each week. Sometimes these power points would
individual of us have the right skill to fit in the right role, for example, more confident group members will present and face the audience while members who are better in typing and writing concentrate more in the research and the making of the powerpoint. In the next team work, I think I should archive the team quality management which said in the literature. It will make my future group be stronger and more effective. Reference: Michael A.

My journey as a public speaker over the semester was somewhat challenging. Before I took this class, I believe my public speaking skills was poor. I usually present my speeches reading off the slides which makes it very boring for the audience. I knew that eye contact is very important to maintain during the speech. I know that public speaking skill is a skill that is commonly used in almost all occupations. So, I decided to take this courses, in order to improve my public speaking skills even though
