Professional Poster Design Session At Makerspace

Poster Presentation. Prior to determining the groups intervention, the group discussed how we should present our information. We decided that in order to “catch the eye” of students, having a poster with bright colors and bulleted information. In addition, the group decided to provide all the information that is presented on the poster in a brochure as miniature poster version.

Additionally i used the room to practice my presentation utilising the actual equipment I would use on the day to make sure a was familiar with the it and how it worked.

The SLD experience was definitely something that I was able to learn a lot from. Working with other students really puts in perspective about how much effort certain group members really put in and how important their own learning experience is to them. For me, working with other students was a very positive thing. I have had a hard time in the past with presenting, and having other people up there with you really benefits me a lot because we were able to bounce around ideas and speak off one another’s thoughts and opinions. Preparation was a little difficult in the beginning because I felt that no one really wanted to take charge. But once we figured that out we were able to evenly distribute work and figure out what our game plan was. I

In the beginning we learned how to make our voice really loud then really quiet.Also we learned how to do Fuzzy wuzzy really fast without messing up witch was hard for me at first but now i'm really good at it.We did a story and we had to remember it then present it to the whole class at the time I was so scared!,but once I got up there I was fine, that really helped me with my presentation skills and remembering skills.

One other thing I really like is how you decided to structure the class while doing presentation, I feel like allot more people are able to engage and not be distracted, also this helps the presenter allot because not everyone stares at you like they would while sitting in rows, so the circle we sit in, is really working for

My group had to present our topic at the Team Teach Session. The four of us were to share the presentation. Although I had done the micro teach session the team teach session did involve a lot more preparation

Immediately after finishing the informative speech I tried to think about any mistakes I may have made, and suddenly my mind went blank. It wasn't that I thought the speech was perfect, but I realized how little attention I paid to my mannerisms for this presentation. After watching the video, I feel I did much better on staying focused throughout the speech, but I also seemed to pick up some new quirks in my voice and body language. Thus, my extra practice did pay off, but I still have a list of things to work on.

As I reflect on the class and how I improved I think first to how nervous I felt about having to speak on camera. In my previous job I had to speak in front of people. It was a routine part of my job and I am comfortable with it. Sometimes it is hard to think about being judged and when one is standing in front of a crowd, the anxiety can sink in. Speaking in front of a computer screen is different and for me, much more uncomfortable. Perhaps in person it is easier to read the audience and give the speaker non-verbal control how he or she will present. For instance; if I am speaking to a group in person I can connect through eye contact and better sense if I need to take another direction to liven things up a bit. One of my strengths is an ability to connect with people, but I do not think that comes through nearly as much as in person. This class prepared me to speak in an unfamiliar medium and will now be less anxious if I have to so a talk or presentation via Skype or other electronic means.

Overall, I believe that my presentation went very well. This is due to the visuals used, the examples I presented, the tone of the presentation, and my overall knowledge of the subject. Using the feedback summary that I received from my students, I can safely say that my presentation was very successful. However, there are a few key areas of the presentation that I would improve for future use, and there are also a few areas that I would revise to make the application experience better for all participants.

What was the topic of your oral presentation and what handouts, visuals, audio-visual materials and/or props did you use (if any)? (If you delivered your presentation off-campus, you must include a copy of your speech - upload a separate file or include at the end of this

Our presentation was very clear and straight to the point. Harris, not only held poster in the middle and introduced our faction, but also introduced the tractor symbol. He explained all the duties of that one symbol and the job positions within that certain section of the faction. Next, Trey picked up where Harris left off and introduced the true meaning of the plant symbol, after giving the meaning of the plant symbol; he described the jobs and duties of the symbol. Then, I spoke about the cow symbol and the true meanings, duties and job positions within that section. Lastly, Tyler concluded by talking about his favorite section within the faction, which is the bow & arrow. He explained in detail what the bow & arrow section stood for, and the very many duties preformed and job positions of that section. Our presentation was something like an outside to inside presentation, because we had a centerpiece in the poster with subdivisions surrounding the centerpiece. Tyler was the person within our faction that described our centerpiece and released our true meaning behind the centerpiece. We set our poster up with a center piece and symbols supporting the meaning of it, so we could make our presentation an outside to inside presentation. We thought that by doing so, it would catch the attention of the audience.

In retrospect, participating in this activity was very enlightening. It allowed me to fully observe interaction of a group. I realized the importance of having a facilitator in a group to enable effectual participation in the group. I observed the shifting role of the facilitator during the meeting. From the beginning when she clarified the purpose of the meeting to when she shared her experiences and encouraged members to do the same, and finally when she gave a closing statement of what was discussed during the meeting and the goal for the next session. From watching, I saw how the facilitator structured the meeting in the beginning when members were discussing among themselves; she put everything in order by saying what needed to be done. I also observed group respect among the members; they all listened attentively to each other without interruptions. Also at the end of the meeting, the facilitator concluded with a statement of what was discussed and

To make a presentation effective and successful, the speaker needs to understand about previous experience with the topic. As it has an important role to the presentation and identify the audience’s needs. On the other hands, the speaker can encourage them to share their experiences and increase in audience’s participation.

Before beginning this class, I had no idea what expect. I had no prior experience with public speaking. I was really nervous about speaking in front of the class. Although I do not necessarily consider myself shy, I never liked being the center of attention. The closest thing that I have done to it was presenting group projects, but that is a lot different from giving speeches. Throughout the course, I learned numerous things that before I never even thought about. I believe these four speeches and the feedback I received from them have molded me into a better public speaker.

Through my presentation, I believe I have strongly improved my clarity and confidence when speaking out to an audience. Though I occasionally stumble through my lines, I am confident that my abilities have come a long way from what my skill level in term 1. For example, for the To Kill A Mockingbird project that we did recently, I believe I executed the first 2 slides of my slide very well. The last slide I did for this project was not as great, as I had forgotten some parts of my presentation, and the abrupt ending. I have also fixed my problems of fidgeting from term 1 as well. For term 3, I will continue to work on fluidness of speech, making sure that I know my lines correctly.
