The lecture
This weeks lecture focused on the topic of PowerPoint presentations, how to achieve an excellent presentation, what a PowerPoint presentation should include, what the audience will remember when you present a PowerPoint presentation to them, how to structure and prepare for a presentation, and how to use PowerPoint effectively.
I found this lecture pretty straight forward, but also very helpful, because during primary school and high school i made many PowerPoint presentations, but wasn't really taught properly how to make a presentation up to ecu standards.
The tips i found very helpful in achieving an excellent presentation is how to get the audience involved, because no matter how excellent your information is, you can not pull off an interesting and attention grabbing presentation without some audience involvement.
During the lecture, there was a part that really grabbed my attention, "Generate Energy, sell your image, and command respect". Those three words can not only be used in a PowerPoint presentation, but for any sort of oral presentation or even in everyday, which is beneficial to me as I'm going to be completing an oral presentation in week 10 about whaling.
Every lecture is really an example of how an oral presentation should be done, and in some cases shouldn't be done, i have found that i can absorb a lot more information if a lecturer is exciting and tries to sell what they are talking about, rather than other lecturers who speak in a monotone voice not really knowing what they are talking about.
The Tutorial:
This weeks tutorial has given me the confidence to go on with PowerPoint presentations, and how to execute an oral speech of any sort so that the audience is as excited about the topic as you are.
The tutorial focused all about delivering a power point presentation in the most professional and informative way possible.
I found this tutorial extremely helpful to me, not only because I have an upcoming oral speech, but also because it has refreshed my memory of using Microsoft PowerPoint, and also given me even more tips on how to deliver a perfect oral presentation with the aid of a PowerPoint, which is something I have not had a lot of practice at.
The Workshop
Top five strategies to deliver a top-notch presentation.
1.Firstly decide what you are presenting, read your headlines in slide view, do they tell your story?
2.Structure your presentation with an introduction, body and a conclusion.
3.Boil down your key messages, keep them clear, simple and memorable.
4.Use supporting text and graphics, and remember that how you say it is as important as what you say, you really have to try and sell the subject you are talking about.
5.Always bring back up copies of your presentation in case group members aren't there, projector breaks down, etc.

Resource
I found this weeks lesson very helpful to me, because i needed to revisited my skills of PowerPoint presentation, as i haven't use it in so long, and need to polish my skills for my upcoming presentation about whaling.
The resource was very helpful, clear and informative, and gave me all the directions i needed or had forgotten about to complete these weeks workshop.
I also found the bad presentation links quite humorous, but also informative telling us NOT what to do during a PowerPoint presentation.
All over i really benefited from this weeks tutorial and am excited about using PowerPoint as a means of presentation in the future, and will have no worries or questions any more as i now know everything there is to know about PowerPoint presentations.
