Lesson Plan

Module #9

1. Looking at myself doing the presentation, I liked that I sounded fluid and knowledgeable in what I was talking about.  I talked about what was on the slides without always reading the slides.  I felt that my audience was listening and engaged because of the fun things I included in my presentation.  I think that I did a decent job of having eye contact with my audience.

2. It was sad watching me give the presentation from a seated position.  In the past I have walked around with a binder in front of me.  I was videotaped sitting at my home computer.  I found that I talked quickly and could have slowed down.  I did not ask questions and or give an opportunity for my audience to ask questions.

3. I definitely think that watching myself will improve how I give presentations in the future.  It was hard to watch, but remembering that a camera adds 10 pounds to anyone helped.

I think that some of my colleagues would benefit from videotaping themselves as well.  I think in general there would be less gum chewing if people saw and heard what they sounded like while chewing.
