Well done, everyone! I am very pleased with the level of participation and effort that students have been putting into their presentations so far. You should be proud of what you have done.
BUT.... the biggest challenge is still ahead. So let's get started....
For Day 12 (Nov. 29);
1/ bring your rough script and be prepared to discuss your ideas for how you will develop your presentation.
2/ I want you to find a
short example of a lecture, performance or a conversation from
www.ted.com .
As you watch the short TED talks, I want you to ask yourself, "Is
my TED18 presentation going to be a lecture, a performance, or a conversation?
In a lecture, you are sharing your knowledge, information, or expertise with the audience. In a lecture, you tend to talk
AT the audience, rather than talk
with them.
In a performance, you often demonstrate knowledge, information, or expertise for the audience to see, hear and appreciate. It often involves the demonstration of a personal skill of some kind. In a performance, you tend to perform or sometimes entertain
FOR the audience, rather than
with or at them.
In a conversation, you are creating an atmosphere where you and the audience exchange knowledge, information, or expertise, such that new knowledge, information or expertise might emerge through sharing. In a conversation, you tend to talk
WITH the audience, rather than
at them.
Of course, you may include a mix of aspects from all three types of presentation, however, there is often one type that is dominant. Which one is dominant in your TED18?
Something to consider as you work on your final presentation, TED18.
Finally, please feel free to leave a comment or question below. If you have a question or problem, it's very possible that others have the same problem, so lets solve it together!
Cheers,
Greg
