Awesome Capstone

My capstone presentation was awesome because a lot of effort and research went into my project. I was able to remember all my key points so I was able to express my capstone presentation effectively. My Capstone presentation was awesome because I enjoyed talking about my topic. It was great since I practiced my presentation a lot so I was prepared to present.

Project: Develop Presentation materials

Project: Develop Presentation materials
For my presentation, I need a game app and a website. The game app is something that I haven't ever done so it is a new experience trying to create a game app that fits with my capstone topic. For me, thinking up the idea of what the game should be like and incorporating my topic will be difficult and also implementing the plan into my game will be difficult. For my website, it is difficult to decide what to put on certain pages of my website and how to make it better.

Perfect Presentations

1) A real-life situation in which I had to listen to a boring presentation would be in physics when the instructor taught by using powerpoints and lectured using the powerpoint. A situation where I participated in an engaging presentation would be in theatre where he interacted with the whole class when he taught us.
2)Multitasking deters progress in creating a presentation because then you won't be focused on creating your presentation and it won't be as good because you didn't put much thought into it.
3)When creating and participating in a presentation, I would have sources from scholarly articles and credible websites.
4) I would recreate the visual aspect of the presentation so that the text doesn't overshadow the pictures which incorporates "vision trumps all other senses."
5) I should toss my current Powerpoint slides because the current powerpoint probably is too wordy and will bore the audience to sleep.
