Hardware Presentation

I thought that Larry Hechler's presentation was very informative.  I have never really seen the inside of desktop computers or lap tops before.  I thought it was most interesting when he told us tricks to make the most efficient use of our laptops.  I had no idea that it was best for your battery to wear it all the way down before re-charging it, so hopefully that will help me get the most life out of my battery.

Powerpoint Presentation

I want to be an Art History minor, so I did my presentation on one of my favorite artists: Pablo Picasso.

Effective Powerpoints

In my experience powerpoints can be a very effective tool for presentations, and teaching, but sometimes they fall a little short and do not really contribute to the ultimate goal of engaging the audience. I find myself losing interest in powerpoint presentations that have an overwhelming amount of text on them, and do not contain many interesting pictures. As a teaching tool, I often times become frustrated with powerpoints that are too simple. For example, ones with key words and they teacher dictates the definition; it would be more helpful for the teacher to include at least an abbreviated version of the definition on the slide.
