I found the YouTube video by Doctor Don--PowerPoint Therapist spot on. He nailed down the common faux pas that most of us make when using PowerPoint to deliver our message. I am guilty too of using animations and fancy transitions that often were for novelty. However, I am looking forward to this class to merge my existing skills and streamline the delivery process. Often I find it difficult to limit the amount of information in my presentation especially when the target audience is middle school. These students do not want extra information--they only care about what's essential to their survival. This class excites me because it represents the culmination of every experience we've had in the program thus far. I hope to refine my presentation skills and combine existing technologies to showcase a style that is beyond the norm. Hopefully, this course will help with the logistics of my media project for my thesis. My vision incorporates CPS clickers into a multimedia presentation to engage and motivate students, thus increasing performance.

Love the animation. As you might see from my blog, I believe that having one moving image helps maintain interest. And sometimes I overdue it too.
