And the BEST PRESENTER is.....
SO, you've watched a whole load of clips on presentations and of presentations. Who would you say is the best presenter?
Randy Paunsch?
Ed Tate?
Doug Jeffrys?
Dick Hardt?
TJ Walker?
Or Microsoft dude? (Should he even be on the list?)
So what have you learnt from all you've watched? In groups, come up with your steps to being an EFFECTIVE PRESENTER using P.R.E.S.E.N.T. Is it the same as your first draft? If it's different, explain the changes made. If it's the same, explain why you've not made any changes.

What kind of presenter am I?
Having presented in an impromptu speech, how did you evaluate yourself as a presenter? How have your friends and group members evaluated you? How do you feel about the evaluation? Are they justified? Post about your strengths and weaknesses as a presenter based on the feedback you got.
