PowerPoint Project

The PowerPoint project was mostly fun. I really enjoyed pretending I was actually making a business savvy presentation. Making the presentation seem effortless was more work than expected. I thought because the examples looked effortless that it would be easy, but there was much more science to it. The slides on PowerPoint worked wonderfully. What didn't work was uploading the project to Voicethread. That was a pain. Not only was voice editing a hassle, but part of Microsoft PowerPoint were incompatible. I had to change the graph I made and edit the presentation and re upload it. I am definitely not a fan of Voicethread. I learned that next time I will just use voice recording on PowerPoint. I will also use that in my professional career because all you have to do is start recording and it sync's your voice with each slide, tells you how long your recording is and times your slides in tune with it. In Voicethread there were long delay between the slides. I feel that professionally using PowerPoint would be much more refined than the alternative.

The Journey So Far....

It is amazing to say that we are 11 weeks in and not much more to go!!  It's been a crazy journey!!  I had no idea I would have such a hard time managing my time, but it sure has been an experience!  This class has taught me how to become a better leader.  I benefited the most from earlier on in the course when we learned about social media and all the different kinds.  I am still getting emails from twitter!  There is so much to learn and I'm going in the right direction.  Also I learned a lot of writing letters or persuasion and also of bad news letters.  It is never easy to do these but I learned some great tips on the right way of going about telling people bad news in a positive way.  For the most part, everything has been beneficial in helping me better my communication.  I am very happy with this class!
