Hey everyone, this is my blog about my presentation project. First of all I would like to say that it was a valuable experience to prepare the presentation. I really liked that there were plenty of opportunities you could choose from. I decided to do a presentation about a non-governmental, no-profit organization, “The Power of Love foundation”. They basically try to fight the HIV epidemic in underdeveloped countries like Zambia, Kenya and India.
I think I’ve learned a lot during this project. Beginning the presentation with a storyboard was new for me, as I was used to start directly with preparing my slides. However, it was really helpful in preparing the presentation, as the structure was already set. That’s why I think my presentation has a logical sequence and flow of content. Regarding the questions part I think it was quite difficult to post them. I tried to manage the content of my presentation in that ways that it leaves no questions open. By putting a video in the beginning that showed the problems in Zambia or Africa in general I tried to grab the attention of the audience. I think I managed that quite well. The program I used in preparing the video was new to me. That’s why you sometimes hear some clutter. In total, I think the amount is quite ok and it is not disturbing the presentation. I think I could improve the sound of my voice a little bit, because it is quite silent. It is really difficult to present something and no one is in front of you. So that’s why I prefer live presentations.
By evaluating another presentation you get a feeling of what it means to grade a presentation. I think this is valuable. First of all, you see the nice work of other students. Second of all, you are able to judge their presentations because you know that it is a lot of work to get a final presentation of 10min content. Finally, it makes it easier for you to reflect on your presentation style. See my presentation below.
As already said, I learned a lot during this project. Especially the use of the Web.2.0. tools and the video recording of my PowerPoint was new to me. I think I can use it during business life very often. If you work for a multinational company and you have to convince people in a subsidiary on another continent, the use of these tools is really helpful. It also allows watching the presentation more than once. This may be a tool for training purposes. You could make a training presentation for interns or new employees, so they can watch it when they need it.

That’s all I can say about this valuable project. Thank you very much for reading my blog.
