******PowerPoint Presentations and Critiques
Please try to limit your presentation to two or three minutes - I will be happy to remind you :-)

There is an Excel spreadsheet inside 18PPTEval that you can use to take notes as others present.
Be sure and calculate your Average, Min and Max ratings. You can use your comments to help with your homework blog entry.

Presentation Tips:

• Connect at an intellectual and emotional level in a sincere way
• Make your ideas stick by keeping things simple, using examples and stories, and including the unexpected
• Say good-bye to filler words ("um", "uh","like","you know") and hello to eye contact
• Ask questions of your audience - "How many of think you know who discovered aspirin?"
• Leave them just a little hungry for more

Homework:

Make a thoughtful blog entry about your own presentation - the subject, what you liked, what you learned, what you might have changed.  Then comment briefly on your two favorite PowerPoint presentations from other students in the class. Say why they impressed you - discuss the design and the content. Leave a brief comment on the blogs of those you chose telling them why you liked their work. (10) FYI - another major design assignment, Pictures that Lie, will be due soon. Be thinking about altered photojournalism and how you could use Photoshop/Elements to alter the meaning of a photograph.
