An Octopus and Crater Prevail!

With an array of topics and diverse applications of PowerPoint features, the presentations from class were both entertaining and informative. From the the topic presented  to the features used, each PowerPoint presentation had something different to offer. From following the rule of adding images to convey a message to adding text in varying amounts, each presentation offered something new and enabled us as an audience to determine which method and application of a presentation seemed most effective.  

Although I genuinely enjoyed each of the presentations and all of them offered something interesting and beneficial as both on a PowerPoint and general knowledge standpoint, two presentations I thoroughly enjoyed were Kaileigh's "Evolutionary Biology: Case Study of Octopuses"  and Brandon Shaw's "Planetary Biology: Crater's".  Both presentations effectively utilized animations, media, text and intriguing topics and were presented in a way to appeal to any audience.  

 

Kaileigh's presentation applied effective use of images to convey a message.  In addition the layout for the presentation was consistent and was well related to the theme of her topic.  Her personal animation with sound was also a great touch, bringing the presentation to a whole new level by making the audience better relate to the topic. On a similar yet subtly different note, Brandon's presentation was equally as effective and entertaining with its application of media, via a video clip and personalized slides.  Brandon had great control of his topic and articulated it in an enjoyable yet informative fashion.

 Both of these presentations as well as all the others presented provided me with a wealth of information on general non-PowerPoint related subjects as well as PowerPoint related matters.  Each presentation was unique, effective, and informative in many ways.
