English 250 Final--Electronic

The Power Point for the group ‘jammed ad’ is again my best example for the electronic part of our WOVE communication. My first thought for the presentation was to use a poster because I’m far better designing with my hands as opposed to one a computer. Although in contrast, over the last several years, I’ve noticed Power Point has made posters obsolete. They allow certain amenities posters cannot; therefore, I eventually decided to use a Power Point. First of all, they are far easier to read from a distance and more information can be listed with a crisper appearance. I think my Power Point did a great job of keeping my audience’s attention. I think this piece shows my comprehension of what is expected for a “good” Power Point. None of the slides were over loaded with text to scare off the viewers and a picture per slide helps the audience relate to what we were talking about. Also, if I ever lost my train of thought, a quick glance at the screen would put me back on track.

Many other forms of electronic communication were used throughout the semester as well. Primarily, the internet whether it be looking up sources or checking emails. The emails sent and received during the semester had some of the most insightful information for me; it was a great source to clear up questions or submit early papers to see if I was going down the right path.
