Presentation

      Well, I'm not really one for talking or presenting. But today we learned about how deliver a successful presentation using different skills and assets. For example we learned about important appearance, facial expression, loud voice, eye-contact and posture are. Appearance is important because it shows who you are or who you're trying to be when presenting. Facial expression is also important because you need to show emotion to show that you care about whatever you're talking about. Using a loud voice is pessary because you need everyone in the room to hear you. Eye-Contact is also very important since you don't just want to be staring at your feet the entire time. Same goes for posture.

     After learning all of this we were too watch TED presentations. The first presentation was one by Bill Gates, whom I thought did very well with his presentation. He was dressed appropriately and did held good eye-contact and posture. The next presentation we watched was by Bjorn Lombard, who didn't do as well. He wan't dressed as appropriately and seemed to be more focused on making the audience laughs than his own presentation. Though, he also held good posture and good eye-contact, I suppose he also did well. Not as well as Gates. The last presentation we watched was Jamie Oliver, who was dressed to simply for the presentation that he was giving. His posture was terrible but overall he managed to get his point through when presenting.

      Sadly, we had to give our own presentation in e-communication, which did't go so well for me. I'm better at giving presentations when there's few people or I'm talking about something I know very well. Being in a new classroom with people I barely knew didn't help my situation and in my opinion I did a pretty terrible job, not even being up there for 15 seconds before running back to my seat. But, least now I know what to expect of myself when presenting.
