In chapters 8 thru 9 I learned a few more details about PowerPoint’s presentations when it is appropriate to add music. What I have done on this upload presentation for chapter 8 I added music to make the presentation more appealing to the audience. In Chapter nine learned about emotions given an audience to present too I made sure to remove all pictures that were not appropriate or that would have the audience in a roll coaster ride of emotions.

Chapter 9 Tapping emotion

Chapter nine covers emotion according to Burmark there are two types of emotions that student and the audience feel there are the negative and positive emotions which tend to stick long before after the presentation “any positive or negative emotion”. (pg. 459) Goldwin mentions that the brain has two sides one side covers emotions and the other side covers dexterity however there more to both to side of the brains “Our brains have two sides. The right side is emotional, musical, and moody. The other left side is focused on dexterity, facts, and hard data”. (pg. 159) Since student are more likely to take images they see during a presentation we must choose wisely when presenting to student such as K12 as Burmark mentions in the book “A word of warning to K12 classroom teacher: Hine had to stop taking the pictures because the children stories were breaking his heart “. (pg. 163) The one thing about a presenter is he has control of the student or the audience emotions from the negative to positive emotions.

Chapter 8 Playing Music

Chapter eight goes into detail about playing music during a presentation a presenter only has about thirty minutes in those thirty minutes you must catch the audience attention and have your audience remember everything you covered during your presentation “You have them for less than an. You want to make it an experience they’ll never forget”. (pg. 141) Music can take your audience through different emotions states from being sad, to anger, through happiness as mentioned in the book according to Weinberger. Another thing about playing music is that we as the audience are not aware that music takes us through different emotions “we are not even consciously aware that the music is dictating our emotional state”. (pg. 142) Depending what type of music is being played we tend to react towards the music we can either be sentimental or brave “Like it or not, sappy music tends to make us feel sentimental (even if we don’t want to)”. Overall the music the presenters chooses it must fit the presentation you are conducting you don’t want one that will but your audience asleep nor bored them to the point the audience will just get unfocused because the music isn’t right.

Learning Experiences for Ch. 5 thru 7

After reading Chapter five thru seven getting to know what images to place on your slides it is not necessary to place forty words when you can place a single image that will deliver you message to the audience. What I have also done is to insert new images into my slide making my presentation more entertaining as the chapter discusses place an image that will grab the audience attention. I also place an image in one of my slides and placed text.

Chapter 7 Starting with Images

Chapter seven covers different types of images from resizing to mixing images with text to the type of image that would be appropriate for the presenter to present during his or presentation. Burmark mentions it is very critical to set the stage before presenting your presentation “What are the characteristic of a good stage set?” (pg.114). Burmark also mentions using images that illustrate or conveying your message to your audience you don’t want to put up a message about Duck and you’re trying to speak about Bear there is no comparison “but only if they illustrate the point you are making” (pg. 115). Burmark also mentions it is very important as presenters to limit what is placed on a presentation in reality placing unnecessary information can cause the audience to lose focus “we must learn to limit what we put on each individual slide. It’s a boardroom legend and an educational myth that people learn more if you can cram more into your slides. The truth is that people learn better when extraneous information is removed. (pg.116).The chapter also covers resizing your image you can always place an image instead of placing too much text when making your point an image in reality speak a thousand words “reduce the content on the slide to its essentials (in most cases, a single image), you can focus on the purposeful placement of that image on the slide. (pg.119)

Chapter 6 Harnessing Humor

Chapter six covers areas of humor in a presentation from the beginning Burmark mentions that we need neotenous pranks, usually during a presentation the audience tends to get real bored when a presenter present a boring presentation and usually the audience tends to walk away during the presentation so to get the audience attention the presenter must do things like play pranks “pranks-full of youthful exuberance-that can lure students and the audience members alike to tune in rather than drop (or walk) out” (pg. 96). Burmark mention during a presentation the presenter must guide the audience towards one path and then surprising them by doing something else “You think you are going down one path, and then suddenly, at the last moment, it takes a detour: (pg. 97). One of the biggest things Burmark mentioned in the chapter is how do you want your audience to remember you like, do you want the audience to remember as a boring presenter or do you want the audience to remember you as one of the best “How do you become that teacher, that presenter whose name alone suffices to make people smile and whose content remains forever unforgettable?” (pg.103)

Chapter 5 Making Connections

Chapter five covers five different types of solid proof connections used by the author of the book. Burmark mention the presenter must establish a foundation with the audience “series of lessons or presentations work to construct (the “house” of) knowledge overtime and subsequently serves to support higher, more abstract insight (the “roof”)” (pg. 70). Burmark also mentions there are time where the presenter has one shot to present not knowing the audience prior knowledge in such situations the presenter must be ready to change the presentation in a moment notice to “one-shot presenters have little or no time to course-correct, so they either have to be certain of the audience prior knowledge” (pg. 74). Burmark also mentions breaking the language barrier presenters must understand depending on the geographical location of the presentation there are time where you have an audience that speaks more Spanish then English in those situations the presenter must adapt, from experience as mentioned by the author asking questions prior to presenting helps out a lot more “I had been presenting for about five minutes to a politely attentive but totally nonresponsive audience when I happened to give an example in Spanish” (pg. 91).

After reading Chapter three and four I learned a lot more about what needs to be placed on a PowerPoint presentation. The updated presentation what I have done is remove a lot of the wording and leaving only a few words this would allow me to present in a manner where instead of reading of the PowerPoint I will be reading off my notes. Also what I have done is enlarge the pictures on every slide or replaced new picture that summons the topic to be discussed. Also I have changed the background only because the new pictures take over the slide.

Learning Experiences for Ch. 3 & 4.

Chapters three and four gave many pointers, great details on everything from placing pictures on a slide too grabbing the audience attention. Placing to many words on a PowerPoint is one example let’s say we can place a picture and a few words on a PowerPoint the meaning of the words tell all. So this time what I have done is place a picture enlarging the picture and placing a few words describing what I am going to present to the audience. Also what I am going to do is learn to become the educator not a The Lecturer, The Entertainer nor The motivational speaker. As a Program Coordinator for Records Management it is my job to educate University employees on records procedures and the laws around records. The next chapter I will need to practice when giving a presentation I can put it in writing but it is not practicing with a live audience.

Chapter 4 Ringing CHIMES

In chapter four reading Burmark mentions teachers at this point do not have the time to cover all the aspects of teaching in today’s society in schools we tend to rush lessons without covering everything that must be taught “in which admits that no teacher has the time to cover all the standards so he just expounds on a few of them-the really important ones” (pg. 61). Burmark mentions time during a presentation the first minute of a presentation it is very critical you can lose the audience attention what must be done is to make the more efficiency and more effectiveness “Moreover, in the context of educational presentation, we need things not only to be done, but also well done. We need efficiency (how fast you can teach it) to be effectiveness (how well they will learn it)” (pg 62). Burmark mentions besides making a presentation effective the second phase is getting their attention and keeping their attention while presenting at any lecture of “(getting their attention), how do you accomplish the second part (keeping their attention) long enough to make your presentation stick?” (pg.64). Burmark mentions the hook and loop concept an idea that Burmark uses to get the audience attention an idea from the term Velcro “That’s where the Velcro comes in.” (pg.64). Burmark also mentions six concepts to use during the presentation that would get the audience attention and will keep the audience in focus “if we can learn to play even seven in a our live performs, our audience members will synch up to the rhythm like toes tapping and hands clapping at a country-western concert in Nashville.” (pg.66).

Chapter 3 Celebrating Presenters

The speaker is in control of the presentation depending on his or her style as Burmark mentions the speaker can be a lecture style presenter “The lecture presents us with mind-numbering instructions those results in disengagement. (pg. 43) A speaker can also be known as an entertainer to the audience by the use of music as Burmark mentions “The entertainer offers delightfully mind-numbering performance that results in escapism”. (pg. 44) A speaker can also be someone who encourages, inspires, motivates people or students as Burmark mentions “The motivational speaker inspires us and has an impact, short or long term”. (pg. 45) Speakers can also be those who educate was during a presentation they inspire us to retain information those who teach us new things as Burmark mentions they are also known as Educators “empowers students to retain and transfer learning”. (pg. 46) Steve Jacobs was known as one of the best educators in our times he was able captivate the audience with his style of speaking by using three style of speaking Burmark mentions he would “lecture that informs., entertainment that captivates, and motivation that inspires” (pg. 47). It is also well know factor that the audience can also affect the speaker if the speaker is well known to the audience the speaker will have an easier time presenting his or her topic or the subject in matter. What if the speaker had to adapt to the style of the audience, as Burmark mentions the use of posters with the different types of topics that will be covered during the presentation will do the trick “A technique that I’ve used is to hang eight posters in the presentation room or classroom” (pg. 54).

Chapter One Changes
The current slides submitted last week will be making major changes for example changing the background color (light gray) making it more appealing the font color (yellow) will be a different. The font size will be changed making sure each slide is correspondence with the other slide and finally changing the font style will be changed.

Chapter Two Changes

My corrections are adding more pictures with a couple of words describing the image being presented. Another thing I have corrected is my hand out no longer are they going to include my slides with information it will become one sheet with two columns of such links and references. Another thing being corrected is of instead of reading the slides I will not jot down notes and speak to the audience instead of reading of the slides.

Chapter Two

Chapter two covers handouts Burmark mentions after creating a presentation we tend to printout all the slides which will include 3 slides per page and including an area where the audience can jot down notes as the speaker is presenting. Burmark mentions a printout should only included the bare minimal only the information the audience should know for example links, reference links Burmark mentions. Burmark mentions we should include pictures about the subject in matter or a couple of words would do the trick with a picture. Like I have always done in the past I always I put all kinds of information when I print out all my slides and guilt as a rock I print out three slides per page plus an area where the audience can jot down notes as they follow my presentation. My corrections are adding more pictures with a couple of words describing the image being presented. Another thing I have corrected is my hand out no longer are they going to include my slides with information it will become one sheet with two columns of such links and references. Another thing being corrected is of instead of reading the slides I will not jot down notes and speak to the audience instead of reading of the slides.

Chapter One

Chapter one covers three topics from the use of background color to the type of color font that would be more appropriate when creating a PowerPoint slide. The second topic covers wording on a power point presentation adding to much wording on a PowerPoint can create confusion to the audience the rule of thumb mentioned by John Medina the less is better. The final topic covers the use of font style some types styles tend to bring words very close together making it difficult the size of the font is also mentioned in Chapter 1. Burmark helps me identify some of major mistakes I have committed while creating PowerPoint slides for instant one of my few PowerPoint the background was to dark while the font colors did not mix. The fonts were mixed for example 8 to 12 font size making unorganized but those were the mistakes I have created in the past until recently while taking other courses, the use of images which in the beginning I never inserted any type of images until recently while working in teams projects. The current slides submitted last week will be making major changes for example changing the background color (light gray) making it more appealing the font color (yellow) will be a different. The font size will be changed making sure each slide is correspondence with the other slide and finally changing the font style will be changed.
