Week 10: Planning an oral presentation

This week there was a focus on submitting the annotated bibliography – completing any residual tasks such as the conclusion, proofing, etc.

The second half of the week was moving on to commence the final report and presentation.

Planning was important – I needed to plan for the report, and with regards to the presentation, what needed to happen (tasks) before, during and after the presentation. This included the formatting, software that I would use, space that I would record in, any resources or cues that I might need to ensure I was delivering the most effective presentation and any support I might need from peers with regards to how they were approaching their projects to measure that I was on the right track for delivery of the next milestone.

Whilst I frequently deliver presentations in my every day working life, the audience for this project has changed, and I needed to consider what strengths I could use from my experience an what bad habits I might need to avoid when presenting the final presentation. I would need to allow myself time to run through the presentation a few times for clarity, to become more confident with the content and to ensure I adhered to time restrictions.
