EDTC-6340 Copyright Fifth Presentation
After reading Chapter 8 and 9 I decided to make changes to my Power Point by adding music to my first slide. I upload music from Incompetech.com.music called Flighty theme by artist Kevin Macleod. In order to keep audience in suspense what was on the next slide, I also added sound to each slide. Each slide has a difference sound for example some have a sound of chimes, drums, etc. My last two slides which are my reference slides I added the sound of applause so that the audience can know that it is the end of the presentation.

EDCI-6340 Chapter 9 Tapping Emotion
This chapter deals with adding emotions to the Power
Point slides that stick. Burmark states Emotions stick like mental post-it
notes, they tell your brain to “pay attention! You’re going to want to remember
this” (2011, P, 157). While reading this
chapter on emotions one thing that came to mind is that as an Academic Advisor
we are invited to attend many career fairs at the elementary schools so in
order for the students to have interest in our program, we have a power point
presentation with many images of the different college visits that our students
visit every year. The students will
remember us as the program that takes many college field trips. We want the emotion of fun, fun, and fun to
stick to these students during the career fair event at their campus. This chapter also mentions that it is
important for the presenter to have positive emotion so it can carry across the
room. This is why when we present at
career fairs. We show excitement and
positive emotions during the event and encourage students to join our program. Burmark also states that we educators have
always known in our hearts: whatever emotion we are feeling will reverberate
throughout our classroom or presentation venue (2011, P, 172).
EDTC 6340 Chapter 8 Playing Music
I enjoyed reading chapter nine because it dealt with adding
music and images to your Power Point to make the presentation more interesting. Burmark states you have them less than an hour;
you need to make an experience they will never forget and connect with them
right away (2011, P.141). I agree with
Burmark especially if you have an audience that tends to get bored right
away. As an Academic advisor for The
Educational Talent Search Program, one of my responsibilities is create
bilingual presentation parents and students about the ETS Annual 6th
grade CAMP. I will start with a video of
the camp from the year before. This will
help the audience connect with the presenter.
The author also states that music and images is the two most important things
to remember while creating a Power Point presentation (Burmark, 2011, P. 141). By using images and music for example, I
started my Power Point with a picture of the students participating at the
dolphin watch at South Padre Island and will follow it with a short video of
the students on the boat. By using music video and images from the year before the
audience would see how much fun it was to attend the ETS Camp for the 2010 school
year. With this in mind, Burmark also
stated that from our own life experience that any time music is played during
an emotionally charged event, we will remember both the event and the song more
vividly (2011,P,152).

6340 Copyright Fourth Presentation
Copyright presentation mphernandez edtc6340(third presentation)
At the end of reading chapters 5-7, I decided to make many changes to my Power Point. First I replaced the first slide with a humoristic picture of a cat. I enlarged all images and removed all text. I placed the text that was removed on the notes section so that when I present I will have the notes to guide me. I also added a picture border on each image. I added images on slides 11 and 12 dealing with Fair Use 107-108. Chapter 5 talks about making the connection by using humor this is why I used the cat picture at the beginning of the Power Point. Chapter 6-7 talks about images, humor, and surprising the audience, so this is why i decided to replace all my slides with larger images no text so that the audience can be alert not bored and anxious to see the next slide.

EDCI-6340 Chapter Seven-Starting With Images
Images play an important role when it comes
down to creating a Power Point presentation. But at the same token we need to
make sure we limit what we put on each individual slide (Burmark, 2011, P. 116). As I finished
reading this chapter, I have come to a conclusion that I will create my Power
Points using more images. I will make sure it is interesting to the
audience and not boring. I usually
conduct monthly parent meetings to inform the parents on their son/daughters progress.
I will create my next Power Point presentation by using only images of the
students attending the annual Recruitment 6th grade student Camp.

EDCI-6340 Chapter Six-Harnessing humor
I can relate to this chapter because I also
have being in the classroom hoping that the presenter hurries up and finishes
his boring presentation. I sit there wishing for a fire drill or some kind of
interruption so that the presentation can be canceled. This chapter mentions ways those presenters can
make their presentations more fun.
Burmark mentions that there are two things need to happen to get your
content across (2011, P.100). First is to get
your audience’s attention and second, connect the humor to your content so people
will learn (Burmark, 2011, P.100). After reading this
chapter I will definitely try to make my presentations more fun for example I
will start with a joke or have a funning image and start up classroom discussion.

EDTC 6340 Chapter 5 Making Connections
Making the connection is basically the presenter making sure he/she can make the hook up with audience. For example if the presenter is delivering a boring topic, the audience will get up and leave. As I was reading this chapter, one of the examples.that Burmark mentions is about making the abstract concrete, to ask the audience members to make a picture in their head when you say the word rose. (2011, P. 71). My first picture on my mind was my mother, because her name is Rose. This is how you would make the learner connect with the presenter by having more concrete context which is easier to remember (Burmark,2011, p.71). Simulations and real-life experiences are also ways of know how to present more concrete. I agree with Burmark that she states that classroom teachers has an advantage over the one –presenter in that ongoing course provides more time to asses and build foundational knowledge (2011, P.74). I thing I learn for sure is that I need to make sure I don’t bore my audience and keep them interested on the topic being presented. The presenter needs to also make sure to use some humor in order to connect with the audience along with the use of language barrier.
