I agree with you that this section has the most applicable information. For one of my classes - I have the students teach the class using the material we are covering for the week. They have to do a group presentation. Having to instruct someone else helps them to learn the material even better. I am trying to think how I could expand on this assignment using the information from this module? This is probably what I will do my lesson plan on for the Bootcamp.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152918165892349107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999392560896403451.post-60032206534014746452015-10-08T12:58:04.316-07:002015-10-08T12:58:04.316-07:00I agree Andy.

I believe that speech was one of the most useful classes I completed in college. Definitely one of the few skills that I still use today. I think this module was very effective in conveying the importance and simplicity that goes in to a presentation.crayatc74https://www.blogger.com/profile/05798296226022111952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999392560896403451.post-2181858569606547162015-10-08T10:46:32.419-07:002015-10-08T10:46:32.419-07:00I thought the target audience module was helpful a...I thought the target audience module was helpful also.

However, it's a good way to draw in the visual learners vs just the aural learners. In my FSSE class, the students have to complete a tutorial in PowerPoint and then they have to apply it by giving several presentations including a final presentation - which is a summary of the class assignments. We also discuss the basics of giving a presentation with PP - keep it simple and use easy to read slides with minimal visuals. We also discuss how the slides should only be used as a prompt or outline for the presenter.

I spoke directly to the audience and made eye contact. There were about 50 people in attendance. A man came up to me afterwards and said, "Please promise me you will never use PowerPoint." I didn't understand what he meant at first. He said that it was so refreshing to hear someone speak without having to use PowerPoint and that he really appreciated my presentation. I think it's also really important to know when it's appropriate not to use technology.Jwilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505015928268732789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999392560896403451.post-18638825818825357662015-10-08T08:18:23.214-07:002015-10-08T08:18:23.214-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jwilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505015928268732789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999392560896403451.post-22106837950755500802015-10-08T06:06:55.999-07:002015-10-08T06:06:55.999-07:00Hi, Stephanie.

It is free for a certain number of questions and for a limited number of new surveys.It even does calculations and builds tables and graphs for you on this free user level--or at least it did when I used it last in 2013. That could have changed by now, though. <br /><br />You can pay a fee to have expanded access and privileges for multiple users. Check it out-- https://www.surveymonkey.com/-- and you can find out whether free or paid access is what you need. <br /><br />Happy surveying!<br /><br />BrendaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447830129372913929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999392560896403451.post-73101834999399349662015-10-08T06:00:02.008-07:002015-10-08T06:00:02.008-07:00Hey, Stephanie.

Much of the information on finance was really tough for me to fit into social sciences. But, just as you're thinking about with the survey of your dental hygiene students, if we really work at it, we can apply some part of each of these modules--with some modification--to almost any field.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.<br />BrendaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447830129372913929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999392560896403451.post-70896917332695701322015-10-08T05:56:57.480-07:002015-10-08T05:56:57.480-07:00Yippeee!

However, I will say that I use both sometimes (although not at the same time) in my 100 level classes in sociology. There are times when the audience doesn't care about the topic nearly so much as they do about the special effects aimed at keeping them awake. ;-) <br /><br />Thanks for your ideas, sir.<br />Brenda Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447830129372913929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999392560896403451.post-89744273671443144432015-10-07T18:22:07.080-07:002015-10-07T18:22:07.080-07:00You gave me a great idea about business emails.
