Last Day of Presentations!
Today was the last day of presenting, and two groups presented.
The first people up were Shun, Takenoshin, Manari, Shione, and Kyoko. I really liked how they made the audience stand up during the presentation to prove their point, as it was interactive and convincing! Great idea Takenoshin + Kyoko :) The seating chart seemed a bit confusing to me at first, but it was made clear in the Q&A, so it's all good. Mr. Paterson adviced them to have their arms open and relaxed to show that they are confident and feel comfortable speaking. He also pointed out that Also, I as the teacher mentioned in a previous class, dopamine generators help the listeners pay attention, the cute pictures of animals were good additions. The pictures didn't seem as effective as I expected though! The summary/conclusion wrapped up the presentation nicely also.
Then, Tamao, Runa, Yuzuki, and Maile presented. I felt that having chrome books in classrooms was certainly a good idea, as you only need to sign in to your Google account, and you can access almost everything you're going to need. The node chairs with the iPad stand seemed convenient as well. One thing Mr.Paterson pointed out was the Boogie Boards, because they aren't used in most schools today. Another thing he mentioned was eye contact. Eye contact is not easy, and like he said before, most. students struggle the most with this. Making sure to look at each individual for about 3 to 5 seconds is the key!
Later on, we discussed the importance of electronics and reflecting. I think what we did over the course of a semester improved my presentation skills, and my ability to find or think of creative concepts. I really hope to become an even better presenter and student. I'll talk more about this in my next post since we're going to get the opportunity to reflect and discuss our project with our group tomorrow. Mr.Paterson told us about how companies usually have meetings after finishing a project so they can keep on growing. Reflections is a valuable thing!
