Chapter 11 concept
The most useful concept I found was the "Practice With Your Media," concept and the "Speak To Your Audience,Not Your Media," concept. I think these are extremely important because I tend to look at the screen or at my cars. You must improvise incase something goes wrong with the technology. For example, you can always use a chalkboard/white board and when presenting by using a visual such as a powerpoint, one should always bring backup, such as overhead transparencies with key images or graphics as stated in the book. When looking too much at your media, the audience feels ignored, and that is a bad feeling. They may feel as if they should ignore the speech since the speaker seems to not be paying attention to them. I found these two concepts the most important and most useful because I sometimes have problems focusing to much on my media.

Hi Jeter,
ReplyDeleteThe problem of looking at the media rather than the audience is everyone's problem to me. I must say, most of the people either look at the powerpoint presentation or the notecards. It is bad because it does ignore the audience like how you said, and I hope this won't happen to us for the next speech in the future!
