[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. By blending the image background with the slide background (or removing all whitespace) will make the slide very clean and visually attractive. Also, by creating a box element as a background for the text will make the text more viewable and clear.

Last of all, I thought that it was always important to link your "one last thing" with your book. Some people were stating the "One Last Thing" that had nothing to do with the book, but had something to do with either the authors background or their experience. The topic for the presentation is "Book Review". Not "The Book and I". I thought it was very important to stay with the topic through out the presentation. The slides and explanations are there to support your opinions about the book. (And maybe to insure the listeners you have deep understanding of the book)

[Reflection] Reflection on this semester

This semester, I've learned mainly 2 things. 1. Slide Design 2. Roles in group presentation. Slide Design:  This semester, I've tried to challenge a new style of slide design ("new" meaning not following everything of the demonstration and the lessons given at class). I have tried my best to try to use more of "icon" based design, which I thought would be nice, theme wise.  The first time I saw icon based presentation slides was a video archive of Facebook Keynote Presentation. I saw the beauty of having matched color schemes (in Facebooks case, it was blight blue, a color which is color-blind friendly). So, I took my time to get some inspirations of icon based presentation slide designs, and came upon a free to use icons to use. As a result, Kai and I have decided to create slides with matching color schemes, and as well as isometric icons I've found on the internet. Roles in group presentation:  At the beginning of the year, we learned about ...

[LEARNED] Writing perfect blog posts

Here is what I learned about the writing structure for your blog:  Blogs can have many styles of writing by the author. Because there are many styles for writing blogs, it is important to select and use an effective writing style. Just like writing an essay, the blog posts should have a structure. As a blogger, you want the readers to understand your idea and experience. Plus, you want the readers to get inspired in the end. Here is how the structure of an essay will help your blog post more effective. First of all, the introduction will give the readers the basic idea of your whole post. The body will let the readers understand your post. Lastly, the conclusion will give the message you wanted to give out to the readers. Plus, with a little twist, your blog post can inspire people. As you can see, by using the essay structure for your blog post, you can make an effective and inspiring blog post for your blog.
