TED talk reflection


 I thought the TED talk went pretty well. We were able to go over everything that we had planned to talk about. There weren't any mistakes that happened during our presentation because we had rehearsed it so many times before. Preparing for the talk took a lot of thinking because we had a lot of slides before and soon realized that the slides weren't driving the actual presentation but it was what we were teaching the whole class. The slides were supposed to just guide us along so we decided to cut out many slides. We wanted to display our infographics and have as few words in each slide as possible. Giving the talk wasn't as bad because I don't tend to get nervous speaking in public but I could definitely fidget less with my hands possibly enunciate my words a little more. I have grown a long way with public speaking because I tend to talk really fast during presentations and sometimes I can't pronounce words when I get nervous speaking.  I would give myself an A because I met almost all the requirements on the rubric.Overall, it was really interesting listening to other presentations because every single presentation was unique in its own way. I could never predict what topics I would be hearing about that day. The whole 20 Time project was fairly interesting and really allowed me to explore a topic that I normally wouldn't have time to go into depth on. It really allows us to continue to explore our passions and possibly learn something from it.
