Three things that I have liked about the given presentations are the creative activity's, the information that i would not have ordinarily gained, and the different styles of power points that have been used. I liked the creative activity's because it shows me how one day we will all have our own classrooms and need to come up with different ways to involve our students. I like learning new information that i might not ordinarily learn because i can store it and one day use those facts in my own classroom. I like the different styles of power points since it is not the same thing for every presentation and shows how technology can be used in a variety of ways. I would hope that future presenters would not read off of notecards, use examples straight out of a source, and not interacting with the class. I feel it would be better not to read off notecards because i feel as if there is no direct eye contact or interaction between me, a member of the audience, and the presenter(s). I think it would be best if future presenters use real life examples instead of examples from a source so i could relate to them more. Last but not least i think that presenters should try to not just read and lecture the class but interact and ask questions instead since lectures can become boring.
