CED0530 Week 4

I have seen a couple of the presentations from the book done in real time. For example the Shift Happens presentation. The presentation made an impression upon me. Now I understand a little better why it did so. The presentation employs the principals introduced in Presentation Zen. The slides don't utilize bullet points, they have high contrast and the pictures contribute to the message of the presentation.

I liked the examples of Prezi. As the presenter mentions it definitely has a "Wow" factor. This delivery type might capture a few students attention just because it is a little different. At this point I've created my account but haven't played around with it yet. It would be interesting to take my recent "Zen Redo" into a Prezi and see how it changes.

Sorry I removed the first one becasue I forgot a word. Here it is
I too have seen Shift Happens in one of my past classes about a year ago and it made an impression on me. It is nice to know why it did now after reading Presentation Zen. In fact when looking over the sample slide shows, it was the one where I said to myself...I've seen this before. Remembering this a year later after seeing it only once truly shows the power of design, especially being flashed with constant media: T.V., computer, cell phone, etc. on a day to day basis.
