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.

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).
