Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
I choose to do my presentation on the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The main focus I had for the first few slides was to draw a curiosity and interest in what I was presenting without letting them know the main reason for the presentation. I believe it was a great attention grabber and kept the viewers watching. The flow of the presentation focused on Cystic Fibrosis and about the disease and how there are treatments that have greatly increased the life expectancy and abilities of a person with Cystic Fibrosis. The attention was then turned from the disease to how a person could help people with this disease. I choose the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because of the websites user friendly and very organized attributes, which makes browsing the site for information and ways to donate easy. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation also had several ways a person could help; not just using the money approach but several other means to help.
I used many visuals to help radiate the presentation and give the viewers a harsh reality of what it’s really like having Cystic Fibrosis and what one goes through on a daily basis. I chose to avoid the cartoonish photo art and chose to use real photographs I took while I was hospitalized. I didn’t show the relationship between myself and having Cystic Fibrosis yet. I did not want to incorporate myself into the presentation until I could show how the people of donating, by whatever means, actually meant to people with Cystic Fibrosis.
After watching other presentations I noticed those to have a non-personal effect on myself as a viewer. I decided to make the presentation a little more personal by showing photographs of myself and events I had accomplished, even though at birth I was not suppose to live a normal and long life. I think by added this personal approach it made the presentation more memorable by adding a face to the disease. The ending slide closes the presentation very well. I think by stating not only to focus on Cystic Fibrosis, but helping any foundation is a great feeling and very appreciative at the receiving end.
My evaluation was done on a presentation about pit bull rescue and the background of the pit bull. I found the presentation very interesting and enjoyed the background of how the pit bull got its name and the unfair marks society has on pit bulls. I know many people with pit bulls as pets and none of them display the characteristics labeled on all pit bulls. I think society as unfairly used a couple cases of unfortunate pit bull cases to slap such a horrible predetermined attribute of all pit bulls. If this were the case all types of animals should have the same label and looked upon as violent and killing machines.
During the creation of my Cystic Fibrosis presentation I discovered many tools the web has to offer. There were so many ways to present and make a presentation that will keep the audience a live and interested. I used the Takahaski Method in my presentation, which is using big text as a visual and I think it worked perfectly. I also discovered a website called authorstream that has developed a central point for PowerPoint presentation users to upload their presentations, get constructive criticism, and communicate with other PowerPoint lovers to get new ideas and excellent ways to add extra spunk to a presentation to give it the X factor needed to effectively present a presentation.
