Powerpoint Product!

On October 6, 2011 in the ALES 204 class at the University of Alberta we had an excellent discussion on how to make effective powerpoint presentations.  In less than one month's time I found myself having to make dozens of powerpoints for one of my extra-curricular activities.  These presentations were to be viewed by thousands of people each year, I was definitely nervous.

After the initial planning and information gathering, I was able to "edit" all of the information I had included on the various slides using what I learned in class.  The result was a series of concise, informative and most importantly effective presentations.  By applying what I learned in class I am now confident with having such a large audience view the presentations.

Below I have included a few screenshots of the presentation!  It focus's on teaching first aid skills!

These presentations are for a school club which I am president for.  If you have a University Of Alberta student ID, feel free to join us!  Simply search us up on the Club Registrar under the name "Ambulance."  All the additional details can be found there or feel free to e-mail me directly at freeride_ing@hotmail.com for more information.

After viewing a fellow students (Jamaika Lukac) blog post on public speaking, it reminded me of what we learned in class - how hard public speaking actually can be, and all the little tricks to dealing with the fear.  My first time presenting the material is next week, I am definitely nervous and will use some of these tricks!
