What a relief! The final oral presentation is over!
But of course, looking back at the presentation, I certainly do have some things I would like to reflect on for the presentation.
The first thing that came to might is the handling of the remote for the slides. I am not used to the remote that Ms Lim uses and ended up clicking when I should not. I remember the second slide when I was suppose to be sharing my personal experience with the audience. The pictures are suppose to come up one by one, upon my command. However, because I am not used to the equipment that I am using, the appearing of these pictures did not came up as I've planned it to be. In fact, due to that, I may have lost some effects or impacts that the sequence of the pictures appearing are suppose to have. So that's the first point, I should always be familiar with the equipment that I will be using for any presentation.
The second thing would be to practice more. I wasn't able to deliver entirely based on what I've scripted down. In fact, i may have forgotten certain phrases that I intended to use to drive the message of slippery floor across.Also, the lack of practice also disrupts the flow of my speech because I needed time to think about what's next. And I may have unknowingly have awkward pauses because I need to think of what's next to say. Therefore, practicing is definitely something that should always be done before a presentation; even the best presenter around does that. And that's my second point, to practice more until what I want to say is drilled into my head.
Lastly, I believe that I didn't achieve the full impact as the first speaker and didn't manage to bring across to and convince the audience the problem of slippery floor. The impact of my speech could be further improve to drive the message across.
But nevertheless, it was an improvement from my previous presentation as peer teacher. I managed to follow some of the advices given from the feedback session. Things like when the other team mates are presenting, I looked at them and nodded approvingly. Also, I am now more conscious of my non-verbal actions.
Well, it was definitely a good learning experience!
Hey Perry!
ReplyDeleteEven though you have not managed to show the pictures one at a time as planned, the effect was not lost entirely! You have successfully caught the attention of your audiencesxD Indeed, practicing is definitely something that should always be done before a presentation, and even the best presenters do that. Practicing allows us to display confidence and a good flow in delivery too. However, I think that it is more important to engage your audience and make them understand what you are delivering rather than to have a perfect script but losing the audiences.
Hi perry!
ReplyDeleteI thought the use of visuals for your part was excellent!! Brings your point across and is totally memorable. :) something for everyone to learn! but yes the clicker seems to have hindered your flow a little cos you were too concerned about whether the correct words/pictures were displayed. I guess a lesson here we can all learn would be: buy our own clickers and practise with it! Haha
Hello Perry.
ReplyDeleteI liked your intro actually. The use of the pictures was quite effective, for me. The clicker was a bit of a problem, but even then I think you handled it pretty well. You ...can talk.
haha yes indeed! the clicker was a problem! haha, and i think i should really start investing in one.
ReplyDeleteI was looking in Sim Lim the other day after the presentation to see if I can buy additional add-ons to use for presentation needs. I felt that it was better to have a clicker that you are familiar with than to use an unfamiliar one for the first time and then taking the risk of missing the impact due to mis-clicking. Nonetheless, you did very well for our group!
