Presentation Strategies
In class today we learned about how to effectively do a presentation to get your message across.
Mr.Paterson did a demonstration of a good, engaging presentation, in which he used lots of techniques he mentioned in his YouTube videos. His presentation (for his TED talk) was interesting and wasn't dull at all! I hope to make my future projects as appealing as his!
He taught us that dopamine generators are important and there are lots of them in his. His slideshow uses mostly big and eye-catching images/videos that help the audience comprehend what he's talking about, and give them a good visual. These images help generate dopamine because it'll leave an impact on whoever is listening. For example, his dogs seemed to have the biggest influence on the audience. He talked about his important main points after showing pictures of his adorable dogs since the release of dopamine helps with memory.
Also, he mostly concentrated on oral improvising rather than just reading off the slideshow. Instead of having too much writing on his project or having a script, he engaged with the audience. He made sure to make eye contact with everyone in the classroom, which helps include each individual in his presentation. I definitely think that making your presentation "conversation-like" is extremely important! I felt like a part of the "conversation" while listening, so I could stay concentrated (as a listener).
I hope to use what I learned in mine correctly so I can effectively do presentations.
