EMERGE Lakeland


I believe that there are two main things I could have done better in my presentation. First I scrambled to find a way to post my presentation directly to my Blog and I was finally able to do so by using screencast-o-matic.com which I highly recommend. Because I had already recorded my audio on the initial PowerPoint presentation I simply played it while it was recording. This created some feedback which I find quite annoying.

Secondly, I would do a better job communicating my message. In some areas I feel that I was not concise and was a little long-winded. Some areas could be cleaned up and the presentation could be more powerful if some erroneous information were purged. I also would have asked more questions to the audience to get them more involved and thinking about the topic at hand.

In looking at a few other presentations I found some of them to be extremely powerful because they were concise and the presenter hit the bullet points hard and convincingly. The speakers that I listened to were very clear, powerful, and to the point. These are wonderful qualities to have in a short presentation and it will certainly help me in the future.

I learned that I ramble too much from this project and that great presentations are clear, concise, and to the point. In the future I will be sure to double and triple check my speech prior to execution to cut the fat, so to speak. Using screencast-o-matic.com for the first time was great. I am glad I found this excellent tool because it provides 15 minutes of screen capture video that can be uploaded to YouTube or saved as a video file on your hard drive.
