Web 2.0 presentation/project-Girl Effect

Web 2.0 presentation project has taught me how to create successful presentations for school and for my career. There are many tools to take away from this assignment. The link above will take you to a the presentation I created about a non-profit organization, Girl Effect, which helps adolescent girls stay in school and create a better life for them and their families.

After watching my presentation many times and critiquing myself, I believe the project had an excellent logical flow and sequence of content. I answered questions that viewers would have anticipated. I did an excellent job at grabbing the viewers attention in the first 30-60 seconds, by showing an inspiring video. I could have done better about asking questions to spark the viewers curiosity. I set the context with concise explanation and it was clear what I was trying to share with the audience.  I did a good job at clearing up any questions that the audience might have had. I avoided clutter by putting limited text and only one photo per page. I did not just read what was on the slides, but explained in depth each bullet point, that viewers would listen to. By avoiding clutter, I ensured that the audience was able to read the slides thoroughly before moving on to the next point or slide.

One of the tools learned from this project is not to clutter a presentation. Another tool, is to elaborate beyond what is written on the slides. Add enthusiasm and explain in depth each point and the interesting facts. Grabbing the audience's attention in the first 30-60 seconds is crucial to keeping them engaged throughout the entire presentation. As an advertising major, I will use these tips to create presentations to show ideas to clients. These tools will result in effective and powerful presentations.
