Presentations and Online Portfolio

My favorite presentation from this week was Jeremy's. Jeremy gave a presentation on tattoos, and it was really interesting. I've always been interested in tattoos and the reasons behind why people get them. It was really cool that he shared his personal experiences with the class and told us some stories behind some of the tattoos that he has gotten.

I don't really know anything about online portfolios and haven't even really looked at the E-Portfolio that we need to do for graduation. I think that the portfolio for this class will be a good experience, and I think we have been given most of the information that is needed for it. As for now, I have no questions.

Presentations

Watching the presentations in class this past week was a lot of fun. The topics were diverse and all very interesting. I think my favorite presentations were Brandon's on sugar gliders, Keegan's on soccer celebrations, and Bryson's on the Real Men of Genius commercials. I think I liked these ones in particular because they all involved some active visual aids. Brandon had a very interesting prop and kept the class engaged in his presentation while surprising us at the end by showing a sugar glider. Keegan and Bryson both used videos to keep us engaged in their presentations, and both had funny and entertaining clips that allowed the audience to interact and give feedback. Overall, these three presentors did a good job keeping the audience interested through using different forms of entertaining visuals.
