Today I have learned a lot about my topic and how I want it presented. The TED talk I watched gave me ideas for how I want to present my information in an order that allows the audience to experience an enjoyable flow of information. Bombarding data could make the presentation feel like a chore. On the other hand a presentation with no data may not make it sound credible and thus the audience will not feel like they've learned much. A balance of data and reflection is important for this positive flow to happen.
What I have learned about myself is that there is still much to learn! Keeping an open mind when listening to others could lead to unexpected benefits. Learning how to present information in an orderly fashion could have the audience retain information easily. Had I not kept an open mind and allowed myself to digest information presented to me during the TED talk, I may not have been able to retain that knowledge and use it in future presentations.
From here, I will group information that I research into categories that can relate to each other. That way each transition will be seamless and not be a chore for the audience to continue listening. During my research for my genius hour project, I will look for information that the audience could relate to. I believe that doing so will keep the audience engaged because otherwise, they will be reading a presentation that they have no interest in. Making a link to the audience with the ideas presented is important to promote learning and understanding.
