Today my group presented chapter 4 to the class. I was very nervous to do this because it was a difficult chapter for me to get into and I felt very stressed this week because of this presentation and other exams and projects I had do.
As a whole, I was pleased with our presentation, and felt like we did a good job presenting and conducting our activity. And although I was afraid that they wouldn’t become engaged with what we were doing, I liked that our peers actually seemed to get into what we were talking about.
Another thing that I really liked about the presentation process in this class was how we as a class debriefed immediately after we were done presenting. I thought it was helpful for us as the presenters to get immediate feedback on how we did. Some of the things our peers commented on about our presentation, is that we did a good job using smart notebook, encouraging thinking, and diffusing our time and speaking. Some of the things they felt that we could work on, was speaking up, how we group or peers (not doing it in rows), and setting expectations for how we want our groups to do and use their time. These comments and suggestions really help me because it really made me think about our presentation from the students’ point of views. I took notes on all of the comments they made, and I plan to incorporate them into my future presentations.
Even though I was nervous for this presentation, and we did find out things that we need to work on, I had fun doing this and learned a lot about my presenting techniques.
