Wow. The personal presentations we gave as a class this week were awesome. This was a great experience, and I learned a ton. The beauty of this assignment was that we got to practice a few times before the real deal. I honestly feel like I could present in almost any setting now as a result of going through this class.
I was freaking out on Tuesday and Wednesday about how I was going to do this, which made the pay-off of successfully completing this assignment so much sweeter. It was great to use the flip charts, even though I don't know if I will ever use one again. There will surely be other events and situations where power point isn't available and I will have to know how to work with other media forms. The take away lesson from this week is that I need to practice presenting and get as much feedback as possible. I have always been told that, but this made that concept so much more real and tangible for me. I am excited to see everyone else's next week!
Although I didn't present last class, I still felt like I learned a lot about how the flip chart presentations work and how important it is to implement constructive feedback on the fly. Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to doing my own about effective blogging practices.
ReplyDeleteYeah man, didn't like this the whole flip chart thing at all and doubt we'll ever use it again. I think it was valuable just because it gave us another chance to practice presenting!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! Everyone did a really awesome job. It's cool to see how far everyone has come since the beginning of class. We are all so much better in presenting. I feel all of us are constantly improving. Good job last class man!
