[LEARNED] The figures of perfect presentation.

Today, we worked on our stance and gestures to improve our presentation skills. I have learned an important lesson: our gestures tells what you are doing in the inside. I naturally use gestures to help myself pick up words from my word-bank in my brain without thinking smoothly. Presentations are just like "talking to your friend about your idea", but in a "larger scale". I will keep this in my mind when doing a presentation for my "classroom design project".

[REFLECTION] Day 1 - Book Review Presentations

While listening to the classmates presentations, there were few things that I have realized. First of all, most of the speakers voice was shaking. As a result, the listeners can easily detect if the speaker is nervous or not. To look confident about what I am saying on my presentation, I thought speaking clearly was important thing to keep in mind. Secondly, some text and images in presentation did not look very nice. The problem was the lack of blending colors, box elements and fixed layout.
