Final Presentation: Copyright Crash Course

wk 10 copyright crash course

The last changes I made on my presentation are that I changed some of the slides background color to a solid black. I also uploaded more images to the presentation to make my point across. In some slides I changed the text color. After reading Ch. 10 and 11, I decided to add two slides for a break, where the audience members will walk around and discuss what they've learned so far. Looking back to the very first presentation I created on Copyright Crash Course, this last presentation looks totally different, and engaging.

Chapter 11 Synopsis: Engaging Senses
       

              In Chapter 11, Dr. Burmark focuses on engaging the audience through their senses. As a science teacher the senses are very important when conducting experiments, but I never thought of adding senses to a presentation to foster learning.

The first sense mentioned is vision and hearing. Dr. Burmark states, “When the most minds are still paying attention- we want to engage the visual sense by displaying a compelling image ” (196).  I agree with Dr. Burmark because if you don’t engage the audience within the first ten minutes with a visual, chances are your going to lose their attention, that’s when an anchor image comes in to help your engagement of the audience. Images will help captivate the audience with the information your presenting.

            The next sense Dr. Burmark mentions is the sense of smell. Before reading this chapter I never knew how a presenter could use the sense of smell to captivate the audience. Dr. Burmark states, “Smell can evoke memory” (203). By using the sense of smell in your presentation your able to captivate and help trigger memories. As an educator you can use the sense of smell to help students to bring prior knowledge to the lesson your covering. Dr. Bur mark mentions that smell can foster positive moods, and help form a memory association from the past.

Dr. Burmark states, “Taste is probably the most underused of the senses” (204). As a science teacher I try to use the sense of taste when using foods as experiments, for example, when using sugar and salt in an experiment I have students describe the taste and texture of each substance. By using their senses the students are able to distinguish the difference between each substance.

            The sense that helps students learn better is the bodily-kinesthetic sense. After reading this topic I learned that by adding movement into my lesson or presentations I able to help my audience learn more. To help improve learning during presentations, the presenter should have the audience members move around during the presentation, this will help foster learning, and help the audience members to retain the information.

            By including multiple senses in your classroom, this will help stimulate learning for the best.

Chapter 10: They Snooze, You Lose

Chapter 10 Synopsis: Telling Stories

         In Chapter 10, Dr. Burmark expresses the importance of telling stories. By telling stories the presenter is able to engage the audience. Just by engaging the audience the presenter is able to get information across to them that might stick.

Dr. Burmark states, “The keynote speakers we enjoy the most are the best storytellers” (176). This statement reflects my thoughts; the conferences I always remember are the presenters who caught my attention from the start.  

Dr. Burmark mentions there are two things we as teachers and presenters need to do to keep our students and audiences awake. Dr. Burmark states,  “We need to do two things:

1.     Get their attention

2.     Present our information in the form of stores they can understand” (177).

In order to get the audiences attention that’s where the presenter engages the audience by playing music, showing full bright and colorful screen images, or starting with a story. When telling a story, the story should have a connection to the information that is being presented.

Jason Ohler states, “stories allow us to take snippets of life and put them together in ways that make it possible for us to learn and remember new things ” (179). This is true, because I enjoy listening to my grandfather’s stories from when he was younger and how life was like when he was growing up. By listening to my grandfathers stories it helps me enjoy the privileges I had when growing up. 

       Dr. Burmark states, “we have to share context that is meaningful, instructional, and even inspirational” (179). I believe that if the information that is being presented is meaningful, instructional, and inspirational, the audience is going to be captivated and remember the information. For example, I try to convince some of my students who have no plans for college to go to college. I tell them the benefits of going to college and if not how they will be stuck with same problems as their parents face now for not having that college education. I tell them I want them to succeed and to become successful out of school. I try to give my students life experiences and struggles they face if they decide to dropout of school. As teacher I try my best to give my overall best in order to get my students to succeed. Stories are inspiring and motivational, we need to be great storytellers to help engage and motivate our students.

Copyright Crash Course Update Week 7

S alvarado revision wk 7 copyright crash course

The changes I made this week was changing the color of my font in one slide. I also deleted one slide but I added some information from that slide to a slide with a full image. After reading chapter 8 and 9 I wanted to add music to my slide show, but Slideshare doesn't  support that type of media.

Chapter 9: They Snooze, You Lose

Chapter 9 Synopsis: Tapping Emotions

In chapter 9, Dr. Burmark explains how presenters can be affective just by tapping into the audiences’ emotions. In the beginning of the chapter Dr. Burmark states, “Emotions stick!” (157). Throughout the chapter Dr. Burmark explains how a presenter can tap into the audiences emotion through photos, words, and stories.  Emotion doesn’t always have to positive to stick to ones mind, Dr. Burmark states, “any positive or negative emotion has sticking potential” (157). This is very true because I still remember the most tragic days in my life. Isa4rt seems like the event just happened yesterday, but its been more than 15 years hen I almost lost my brother to a dog attack. The emotions of that night still are stuck to my mind, and I will never forget that day.

Dr. Burmark mentions Seth Godin and he states “presentations are about the transfer of emotion” (159). When I first read this I never thought that just by presenting I would have the power to change a persons emotions just by my presentation. But after reading this chapter I was able to understand the importance an educator or presenter has over their audience, we can control how they feel, what information we want the audience to retain.

Dr. Burmark informs the readers that photos are a powerful source of emotion. We know that a picture is worth a thousand words, but those same pictures have a story and demonstrate emotion that can change a person from feeling positive or negative. Dr. Burmark introduces Mr. Lewis Hine whose photographs help change child labor laws in this country. Each of Mr. Hines photos were very heart breaking because of the background stories and the emotion that was presented by the subject that was being photograph. Mr. Hine was able to make convey the pain and emotion the subject of his photographs were feeling to his audience, he was able to make a difference by just taking a snap.

            As an educator I found a statement made by Dr. Burmark very fascinating, she states, “whatever emotion we are feeling will reverberate throughout our classroom or presentation venue” (172). I found this fascinating, because I never thought that my emotions were able to spread to other people around me.  So as an educator if I show emotion of anger to my class I going to lose them for the day, the students will probably shut down and stop paying attention because they are able to feel the negative vibe I’m giving off.  After reading this chapter I’m working on providing a positive atmosphere through photos, words, and music to each of my students, so they can feel welcomed and give them hope to succeed in their future.

Chapter 8: They Snooze, You Lose Synopsis

Chapter 8 Playing Music

In chapter 8, Dr. Burmark focuses on how important music is in ones presentation.  During silent films, the music played a big part on how the audience is going express their emotions by corresponding to the music they heard.  According to Norman Weinberger, University of California research professor states, “the audience needed the music to engage its [appropriate] emotional reactions and involvement” (141).  Without the music how would one know how to feel when they say Charlie Chaplin do a comedy skit, music was a reflection of the actor during the silent film age.

According Weinberger films today still need music “to supply the actual emotional states and feelings [the audience needs] to identify with [the action] and the characters involved” (142). I have to agree with Mr. Weinberger because music plays an important factor in movies, television shows, and presentations. I believe if music wasn’t used in movies or television shows how would the audience know what emotion to feel throughout the movies or show. Imagine watching an action movie, during a fast car chase, how can the audience connect what the actor is feeling if there is no music to connect their emotion to that scene. If you attend a horror movie the audience is expecting to jump out of their seats based on the music that is playing in the background.

According to Dr. Burmark in order to give our audience a great presentation the presenter needs to include both images and music. I agree with Dr. Burmark, because the images are going to be your vital piece of information that your going to present, while the music is going to charge your audiences emotions and help them remember your presentation.  I say this because Dr. Burmark states, “we are not even consciously aware that the music is dictating our emotional state” (142). By dictating what the audience is going to feel during the presentation will help them remember important content of the presentation.

Music is very important to ones health according to Carol Krumhansl. Music helps people exhibit emotional response, happy music changes the timing of your respiration, whereas fearful music changes the rate of blood flow, and sad music changes skin temperature, blood pressure and heart rate.  When conducting your next presentation think about how you want you audience to feel when your presenting.

Before reading this chapter I knew music was important because one can relate songs they hear to current or past events that have happened in their life. But I never took a close look on how music impacts a person’s way of thinking, a person is able to retain and decode information just by the music they hear.
