Friends of Jaclyn- Presentation Project

Support the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation-  Presentation URL

In this project we learned about how to give effective presentations. There is a lot of media on the Internet that allows people's online experience to be more interactive using more advanced communication technology. This advanced Internet communication is called Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is interactive. No longer is the Internet a place that people go to just as a good source to gain information. There are live chat rooms. Social networks are booming. There are even Internet communities that share thoughts, pictures, and ideas about specific topics of interest. In the business world being familiar with Web 2.0 is essential. Companies are going global, which means there are alot of computerized presentations and conference meetings. In the project I learned how to give a presentation entirely online. This goes beyond creating the standard PowerPoint, but goes even further incorporating  tools like video, audio, graphics, and effects. The media program, Ignite Cast, that I used was easy to use and free. This knowledge is going to help me in my future business career.

Below is the self evaluation of my presentation. I also did a peer evaluation. Looking at what my classmates presented was really interesting. There were some really cool ones. The peer evaluation helped in finalizing my own presentation. I saw what types of things that my presentation should include. I also got to learn from my peers. I would look at how someone did theirs and get different ideas about how I could improve my own. This was a great project.
