multimedia presentations

The first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about presentations is often to be PowerPoint, at least it is to me. Whether you like it or not, PowerPoint presentation is one of the most common media we see in education, almost every class I go to, I see instructors using PowerPoint to present their lectures. From this one fact, we can tell how useful PowerPoint is when it is about sharing knowledge. Therefore, many of the assignments I have done are done with PowerPoint. And before, when I did my PowerPoint presentation, I just put all of the content I wanted to talk about on my presentation with a huge load of wording and confusing image structure. The reason I did that is mostly because I am lazy and do not want to memorize the content I try to present. I did not put readers’ experiences into my consideration, and I expected my readers to read the words in my PowerPoint, I gave the responsibility of understanding my material to my readers, which I should not have done. However, because most of my classmates are friendly, so I did not receive enough comments that help me to improve my presentation skill. Therefore, this week’s reading helps me a lot to improve my presentation design skill, and I hope we will see my improvement in my assignment 2 blog post.
