I have to admit that when each class session ends I feel a little information overload going on in my head. The hour goes so quick because we are learning about so many new and exciting things, but at the same time it's overwhelming thinking of everything that needs to get done. Once I'm able to actually go through the material I am finding that each and everything I go through gets more and more beneficial. I am really enjoying the Presentation Zen book, but even more I love watching the videos becuase it is really enhancing what that book is saying and what is really important. I think this last chapter in the book was extremely beneficial becuase it went through all the important key components of a presenation and what I should be working on. I think what I am liking most about the class is that I am being forced to try new programs and sites and being forced to get out of my way of thinking and into something new. I am forcing myself to try and expand on what I know and make something great. I know none of the stuff that I've done so far is very great, but it's so much fun to learn and try to better myself. Currently for my job I'm in the process of reformatting all of our paperwork and update old presenations. I haven't started the presenations quite yet, because I want to practice and get better at them before I start, but I'm so excited to start putting new ones together and wow my boss!

I agree with you about being forced to try new programs and techniques. Whenever things are mentioned or suggested to me by colleagues, in meetings, or memos I always have the best intentions to try them out but it is always something that gets put on the back burner.

ReplyDeleteI actually like watching the videos before I read the book. It makes the reading come to life for me. I can't wait to be able to share the information with my co-workers, especially the videos. They are so pressed for time that they will appreciate the videos. Then, I can offer up the book if anyone is interested in reading more. I am truly looking forward to putting everything we are learning into practice at school. There are several teachers that I know who will be receptive to everything we are learning about. It will be great to see the kids putting it into action.
ReplyDeleteYes, Katelyn, I feel this class is overwhelming with information too! However, I am learning a lot about taking pictures and giving presentations. I will continue to use some of the principles from the book, PresentationZen. It will boost my confidence and creativity.
