Journal 10

In class Tuesday we started our group presentations. Only two groups went today. Overall I though both did well. The presenters need to slow down when they talk and not rush just because they have 20 seconds to speak. At times i was unable to understand what they were saying becasue they were talking so fast and then they would studder. My group did not go yet because Stephanie has no voice and she hasn't had one since last friday. My group knows now that we need to talk slow and think about what we are going to say before we say it. We are using notecards to help guide us through our presentation. Our group met twice, once last week and once this week, in order to make sure everything was correct and turned it and made sure everything would run smoothly. In class today I asked Tess how to get the slides to automatically turn after 20 seconds. If i knew it was going to turn into a big ordeal i probably would not have asked. Now i know that i need to ask her things before the day something is due so i understand and know how to get it done properly. Also, i learned that Tess is still learning about computers and what to do on them since they are always changing. Technology is unpredictable. Tess also told us that we need to start thinking about our final project. When we take pictures we need a consent form and we can't get pictures off the internet unless we have permission which is probably hard to get so i am definetely going to stick to pictures of people i know and then just get a from signed by them. Thursday my group will present our powerpoint so I am hoping that all goes well and we can pull off a good grade:)
