Week Eight - Lecture Summary

Week eight's lecture summary concerned presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint. We firstly began with watching a short video clip about creating a good presentation then having to make a comilation of 10 good tips for presenting. These included, add brief sentences, pictures, some some colours, big font, etc.

The lecture continued by explaining the audience's point of view. This was explained by 'selling' what you are saying. Engage with the aundience and make it look and sound like you are know and believe what you are talking about.

Later, the types of presentations were described.
- Video
- CD-ROM
- Wep-Page
- Essay
- Paper
- Oral Presentation

Then it was explained that it is best to have visuals as well as a speech when presenting. More is remembered by the audience when they are presented with visual and hearing sensed presentations.

When creating your presentation, a lot of work must still be added when creating it even though it should be left simple. Introduction, the body and conclusion must be well structure enabling for an engaging presentation.

Lastly, audience involvement must occur. This may include asking the audience questions.
