Reflecting on Teacher Presentation


  • I used my internet searching skills in various ways. In order to find tips i had put teacher and presentation in quotation marks so all resources that popped up would include those words. I also used the file type operator to find all PowerPoint that were teacher presentations. 
  • I learned a lot from the resources presented on Diigo and the ones I found on my own. I learned that too many words can over saturate a slide. It is best to use big images with big words so that they are more appealing and easier to follow. I also learned that one must use the PowerPoint as guide not a script because it dulls the presentation.
  • In the PPT that I found, there were way too many slides with too many words. They could have simplified the text or plainly just split the text into multiple slides. The slides were to uniform and it was difficult to notice any major change. Many slides were left without images which made it seem too boring and made me lose much of my attention.

Personally, I mainly used word to forge essays that were do in school. Never, have I used MS Word in a creative manner because if I needed to make a presentation, I would just use Microsoft PowerPoint. It wasn't until my EME2040 class in college that I would have to create a newsletter which was very new to me because I lacked the skills for design in word. My educators throughout my schooling never really showed me how to use word in different modes or ways. The most different thing i saw were lesson plans but those weren't unique, they were all nearly the same as if they all shared a template. My experience with copyrights and fair use of materials was taken very seriously except when it came to pictures. We could use any picture we found online for presentation and it wasn't until college that I found out one must attribute i...
