Module 3 Technology Class
Here is a Google Slide Presentation of the benefits of listening to specific kinds of music while studying; created by Abby Kruppa for Module 3 of Technology Class: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vT_e4owzoTE4wv6mdsDOWYl-XJdtieDE8fSIpF6xdwM8CIQXJHxHurQwwTvlLTOG13DtmDPY3VCaBWT/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=5000
Discussion Board PowerPoint Answers
1. I think that two suggestions to remember and utilize are to not distract from what you are saying and not read from the slides. I have sat through so many boring PowerPoint presentations with people writing an essay on the PowerPoint and reading it, as well as confusing presentations with random, eye-catching images that ruin the main objective of the presentation.
2. One thing that surprised me from one of the articles was that bullet points are actually not a good thing. I think because- as they mention in the article- all of the programs encourage bullet points, we automatically use them on almost every slide. It’s like being in default mode but I guess it makes sense that default mode is not ideal.
3. I have done many PowerPoint presentations, and as I have gotten older, they have definitely evolved into following the rules we learned from this module. I used to jam pack my PowerPoints with every piece of information I researched and thought of, but now I emphasize my speech with key words and helpful images or simple data charts. I try to limit my presentation material to about 5% of what I am saying instead of 95%.
4. I had a great experience with Google Slides and I had no idea the resource existed before! It is super easy to use and I love that it’s already on the internet instead of PowerPoint. It’s definitely an improvement from Keynote, which is the program I usually use.
