Presentations

Presentations are not my forte, but I think that teaching students HOW to present is a tremendously important thing to do. I don't want them to be a self-concious as I am about doing them! I can see them being a part of assessments in my class and I would love to be able to support my students in learning how to be a good presentor.
I remember being awed by the first Power Point presentation that I saw and I was even more impressed when students started doing them. They were eye-catching, creative, and fun. A HUGE improvement over the most dull presentation ever invented ...the overhead projector! Now they seem a bit more mundane and boring... kind of like the video "Life after Death by Power Point".
I wish that I had seen some of the presentations that this class did ...I heard that they were great!

The class presentations were outstanding. Lee proudly went first with her webpage:-)

Yes, shy people like you certainly understand the need for some presentation skills that calm the jitters!

Hope your eye is all better. We missed you in class.
