Today we watched our last four video segments of the Prohibition documentary. We watched, Roy Olmstead, A Genuine American, Fiorello La Guardia, and Pauline Sabin. During the videos we continued to apply the course standards to the content.
After the videos we were instructed to bring these notes to class for use next Wednesday.
We ended class with a thirty minute discussion about effective communication via online resources. We identified what cause us to engage with online content, what keeps us engaged with online content as well as what causes us to disengage with online content. Because our third quarter project is about effectively communicating with our audience via online oral presentation, we need to make certain that we apply these ideas to whatever product we create so as to ensure our audience receives what we deliver.
We used the ideas at the bottom of this link to guide our project and the link were used as examples of what not to do in our presentations. We were encouraged to think beyond the slide presentation and instead create a product based on our interests (because if it is something we are interested in we are more likely to better engage our audience).
Mr. Williams also showed us how to capture video of what we see on our computer screens. The resource he used was Jing and it can be downloaded for free here.
