Presentations

Today in class, I saw three great presentations that gave me better ideas. I am positive that when we put these presentations together into one, it will turn out to be excellent and amusing. This was very helpful, it gave me plenty more ideas for my own powerpoint. If I could change it I would talke a little bit about the teachers. The sixth graders need to be prepared for all the different teachers expectations and requirements. Besides that, I would add in the different materials they need to be ready for class. In addition, I would put a little bit more of animations, words, and movement. I thought it was a little boring to just have one background and one picture for each slide. In conclusion, these presentations were very helpful.

Presentation

There are many students that use Powerpoint the wrong way. Last year, in sixth grade, we had a student who did a book talk presentation that took about 10 minutes. She kept on going on with her plot that took, for me, more than an hour. She only had pictures that moved all over and they were hard to understand since they were moving around everywhere, it distracted me. Besides that, she wasn't talking clearly so it was hard to understand how she related her pictures together. I got really bored and I think the teacher did too because she was about to shut her presentation off. Not only that but, most of the class was falling asleep since the presentation was taking too long and was way too boring. As you can see, Powerpoint sometimes supports your ideas and others it's just used wrongly.
