Big news this week is (of course): final papers are due Tuesday 8/16 at the beginning of class. Tuesday, we'll do an in-class workshop for presentations and Wednesday and Thursday will be the presentations themselves. I'll have a few more things to say (and link to), but for now check out this guide to body language from INC magazine (via the Lifehacker website) and this more general how-to from Lifehacker itself. The latter is focused on talks that use slides (such as Powerpoint/Keynote), but the basic ideas of simplicity, storytelling, and clarity are true for almost anything.
On Presentations
Here's Carmine Gallo's written summary (in Businessweek) of his video I showed today on presentation tips.
Here's the order:
Wednesday: Isa, Diana, Gissell, Miriam, Hong, Kai, Alicia, Julissa, (time permitting) Luvasia
Thursday: Asha, Brieanna, Kaydee-Ann, Mimi, Ching Ching, Arieanna
For those of you using video clips, try downloading them with Keepvid.com or a similar video capture site and saving on a USB key. That way, you don't have to worry about slow playback. As a back-up, post the link to your blog, so you can pull it up quickly without showing the entire class your e-mail inbox.
