[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)

[IDEAS] Two Types of Slide Designs

I believe that there are two types of designs for slideshows. The first design, is based on making each slide simple with images and minimum text. This method gives the viewers static image on what the speaker is talking about. The second design method I use is the "Material UI Design". Since it is a UI design, the whole design interacts to the users with geometrical and photographic elements animated and placed according to a layout. (the layout guidelines are set by Google). For example, if you were to tell a user about a new feature, this is what Material UI Design will solve the task: https://storage.googleapis.com/material-design/publish/material_v_12/assets/0B4kv-3uZbS1qQVhNbFlVdlNsOEE/engagement-featurediscovery-single-flow.mp4

[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.
