Multimedia Today

1- Prepare your keynote presentation. Check again for any typos or spelling errors. Mentally and physically rehearse what you will say and how you will present. Keep in mind, you want to give a presentation that is still professional and academic, but not boring.

2- Once you feel ready, walk one your classmates through your presentation.

Explain your keynote presentation to them the same way you intend to present it to the class. Ask them for feedback. Were there any areas in your presentation that seemed weak? Anything that could be improved? Were they bored? If so, how could you reduce boredom but still remain professional? Were there any errors in your presentation? Were there any parts of your presentation that felt unclear or muddled?

3- Use their feedback to improve your presentation. In your blog, let me know how your rehearsal presentation went, what feedback they gave you, and how you addressed their feedback?

4- A big part of this project is about receiving feedback. Trying to create a presentation that won't bore your peers. So, the last part of the project is to create a survey form in Google Docs and link it in your presentation (and also on your blog).

To create your Survey

First open google docs.

Click 'Create New', and select 'Form'.

Here you will be able to enter the survey questions. You must click done on a question before you can edit another. To edit a question, you must mouse over the question then click the pencil on the far right. At the top of the screen, notice the options; you must use the 'Add Item' to add new questions.

Once finished, click the embed option in the top right of the screen, and paste the html tag into your blog to show that you've completed it.

Questions should include; Name. How does the presentation compare to most presentations you've seen? Was this presentation able to keep your attention? Was there something new you didn't know about before? Do you think this web 2.0 tool could aid you in school?

Next class we will look at the hardware involved with the projector, and how to set it up with the mac. You will also have a little more time next class period to complete today's work and your keynote presentation. It will be the last day of in-class time for it. Don't forget to add the link to your web 2.0 tool in the slideshow, as well as a link to your blog for them to take the survey.
