Week11

 (1)

We learned why professor in specialized in presentation skills doesn't teach deepen skills for students. In order to become a professor, in Japan they need something 2 reports, book or publication. That means they are not measured by how they are good at teaching, but how they experience and have knowledge to teach students. When it comes to meeting, Rab taught us 3 roles. First is a facilitator. Facilitator is a person who leads all participants, provide them equal opportunity to speak up, also interrupt noisy people in order to have enough idea. Second is a note taker. Since technology advanced, we can share a doc and write on it by anyone. However, note taker is important role because we can make sure what we discussed and reflect for that. Third is time keeper. Time keeper is a person who manage time properly. That means he or she need to know when they should review for their discussion, the number of idea and summary of the meeting. In the perspective of presen practice, we learned 3 apps to practice: LikeSo, Speeko and Astound. These apps are not free. However, if I use PC or smartphone and record own presentation,  I can recognize my weakness and minor points to improve for better presenation. Also, we discussed ideas and skills for professional presentator. We came up with technological skills such as zoom condition and sending file. And communication skill, apporopriate style, concern for dyslexia and color blind people, making well-prepare slides but keep them simple to see it.

For reaction, I was surprised with that professor from presentation class I took in spring semester did not teach me what Rab taught us today. I learned many things which will be useful for my future. Also, from the next time when I have a meeting with my peers, I will keep in mind about having three roles to manage meeting properly. I realized that I am not good at a facilitator but I'm good at time keeper and note takier. However, I need to be flexible for all role, thus I will strive to be good at a facilitator from now on. Also, when I practice for my presentation, I always prepare by memorizing the script, not practicing how to behave in front of people. Until next week, I will continue to practicing presentation by recording my self.

      We worked on feedback about each infographic and brochure. Infographic is basically contains 70~80% of visual context and images and 30% of sentences. However, entire students did not contain visual information in infographic. Some people are all caps and narrow space lining. About my infographic, friends told me no fixing points although I felt that  I need to add more visual information. In terms of brochure, I could not finish in time so I will work and finish by next week. My fixing point was adding more sentences. Also, when I create brochure, all elements need to be the same font, colors, style because it looks more nice and better to attract people.      My reaction for today's class was that visual marketing has various ways to attract people. Before using Canva, I was quite not sure how companies create such a great visual advertisement. By using Canva, it makes me more confidence to work on visual communication through designing. Also, ...

      We checked each bio. All of us stepped mostly perfect result though I need to improve my photo. Because my shoulder did not include all and too much blur background. However, I saw my development comparing to the first bio. As second task, we worked on creating infographic using Canva. I used it before, however I need to pay attention what I learned from this class. I could not pay attention small detail such as all caps, color blind and dyslexia people supporting. These are improvement till next week.      Rab explained us how we need to pay attention to dyslexia and color blind people. When I create presentation or designing, I did not care about color blind support. Since today, I learned how to realize the color combination which will be helpful for my future as well.
