Presentation For a German Shepherd Rescue Organization

This assignment was tougher than most.  I feel like I spent many hours spinning my wheels but thinkl I accomplished more than I thought I could.  My presentation was really about an organization I believe in.  I wish I could have done more for the organization and plan on taking this experience with this presentation and applying what I have learned, and most all, how I can improve my skills with future presentations.

I think the flow of my presentation started smoothly.  Within the first thirty seconds I grabbed the attention of the viewers with lines like "man's best friend is in trouble" and "final fate in a high kill shelter."  I attempted to avoid clutter by trying to have bold statements without to many items on a slide.



Crisp Slide







Attention grabber

My attempt was to let the viewer see the importance of this rescue operation, German Shepherd Rescue Inc.  I tried to lead them down from why this organization exist, what is its mission, how can we help it, and finally remind them of why their help is needed.  I did not read directly from the slides but could have worked on preparing a better script.  I also was able to validate that the organization is needed by telling Charlie's story.

If I had two weeks to work on the project again I would change little with the slides or the timing of them.  I would work on the sound and potentially some animation .  All the music and the voice was original .  It is so much better to hear a crisp clean sound and feel. I feared copyright infringement and decided to make the music.  The sound quality did not turn out as well as I would have liked with my computer microphone. There are points where I could have done better vocally during the presentation.

I learned a lot more about power point and it's tools on this project.  It is a great tool and I have used it for presentations at work in the past but have gained a new respect for it after this project.  I will work on better preparation and due diligence for future presentations.
