Feedback About PowerPoint Presentations

I enjoyed doing small group presentations as opposed to each member of the class presenting there individual slideshows. This allowed me to really focus upon the presentations I was viewing and critique them according to the accepted guidelines discussed in class. First I noticed the sense of accomplishment among my colleagues. Each group member was so eager to show there Power Point and offer explanations and clarifications about the topic they selected. I always appreciate someone's enthusiasm about a topic they feel a particular passion for. Like with my students, I tried to make constructive criticism in a tender and efficient manner so that my point was understood and the presenter did not feel threatened by my comments. When it came time to give my presentation I was pleased by the group's approbation and feedback. I selected a controversial topic and was concerned about the possibility of someone not understanding the message. However the theme was readily embraced and my team responded that they enjoyed watching my slideshow. The suggestions of my group focused upon adding slide transitions, and ensuring that I give enough "wait time" before moving on to the next slide.
