Module 6 Feedback on Colleague's Final Presentations

To Rachel Salley:
While viewing your presentation, I especially liked how you used a few slides (in lieu of one) to list out the individuals who use learner assessments. Furthermore, I thought it was brilliant to include all the uses that each individual (depending on their position as teacher, administrator or policy maker, etc.) have for learner assessments.Your presentation was very informative and straight to the point. Great job!
To Cathy Marziali:
I especially liked the flow of your video. The video of the avatar ( In the 5th slide I believe) did not even appear to be an embedded video from an outside source.....it flowed and played automatically as if everything came from one source. Your presentation was of very high quality. I aspire to create a presentation of the same caliber some day...Great job!

To Cora Blades:
I especially was impressed with the original footage and videography. About 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the presentation, you showed an example of what happens when someone is not sure how to cite information correctly. That was important to me since searching through the APA manual is something I can definitely relate to. Furthermore, I  like how you began the presentation by asking a series of questions and then stating "If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you are guilty of plagiarism." The picture in the first slide coincided with your opening statement as well. Great job!

To Laura Lee:
While viewing your presentation, I liked how you referred to the keynote speaker so it appeared as though you were really presenting at an educational conference. Also, the slide that was 3 minutes and 43 seconds into your presentation had a a person walking up a set of building blocks which coincided with the slides title "Increasing the Development..." Overall, your presentation was straight to the point and easy to follow. Great job!

To AJ:
I especially liked the slide where the figures had the laptop computer connected to the globe to depict the connection that users have with the rest of the world. In addition, I thought it was brilliant to include sample pages so viewers could see what some of the online resources actually looked like once logged on. Great job!

To Lewis Chappelear:
Wow! Your video presentation looks like it was professionally done. I enjoyed teh first fes slides that gave a visual depiction of the isolation students would feel if learning had no social presence. I also thought it was pretty neat how you had original videography while words and graphics appeared on the screen simultaneously. For example, as you would say something, those same words would pop up on the screen. What type of software did you use for your presentation? Did you start off using MS Power Point? Fabulous Work!

The video presentation is appreciated by all. It must be watch worthy.

I used iMovie to create the video. I first created a PowerPoint and then exported it as pictures. I then inserted the pictures into the movie, created the short videos using Photobooth, and then just clicked the audio button to insert the narration. I have never created a video like this before, but I found it very, very easy using my MacBook Pro.

@JWatkins, Thanks for your positive feedback. @LChappelear, Your video was fabulous. I have iTunes, but am unfamiliar with imovie - - is it exclusively available on Mac or is it available on other computers as well? Clearly, I have ALOT to learn with regards to technology.
