Week 2 - Learning Team Presentations.

WEEK 2 (07 10 11)

The task for the second week was to make a presentation with our group friends about one of the subjects of digital media. We had to consider about what to talk during the presentation, discuss, do a survey about the subjects and wisely contribute tasks among the group members. 

There were six groups and unfortunately five of them had done their presentations about Adobe Photoshop. Of course, it is not smart to expect that the most of the groups will not pick the application mentioned above which to do the presentation about. Adobe Photoshop is the application widely known and used, so it is much easier to represent the subject you know, than the subject you barely know.

The group, which had not done the presentation about Photoshop application, did it about 2D Animation. I think, they were clever enough to consider the possibility that everyone will represent the same thing, and they had simply done the different one. And they were right. Actually that was the only group presentation, which I truly enjoyed listening: first of all, their visual aids were very interesting, and that is not just because the group was showing funny animation things, but the reason was that I had a break (as I am sure everyone else did), where I was not forced to look at the same Adobe Photoshop screenshot over and over again, which I think I would describe just awoken in the middle of the night.
Moreover, the guys had talked really clearly and fluently. I know that they are English people - I am the one who is not, but not everyone can present some information and not to bore people around you.

I think that was a problem my group had. And several other groups. Every time we make some kind of presentation in front of other people, we just have to show some energy and interest in that kind of subject we present. Otherwise everyone who listens to us could practically fall asleep, because no one wants to listen to some plane information.

Actually there is a bright side: listening to the plane information gives some benefit. Not everyone using for example Adobe Photoshop can have such an opportunity to hear the origin of the application five times.
