This week the
practice was to learn how to do a nice and useful presentation using free resources,
so we have chosen 5 concepts that, if used sequentially, can help us to create
and develop an outstanding presentation, flowing like if were telling a story.
• Storyboard: a series of
illustrations displayed in sequence for the purpose of serving as a guide to developing
a story, previewing an animation or following the structure of a film. Storyboards are an essential tool for making and developing a good presentation, as they allows a visual and mental guideline to follow.
• (Free) Resources: materials (documents,
pictures, drawings, music…) that we can use for our work and can be copied,
edited, altered, redistributed...always with permission of the owner. Usually those materials
should not be used with commercial purposes. Within this concept we can find Creative
Commons and many tools and websites (Flickr, Jamendo..) for using resources rationally and legally.
• Creative Commons licenses: is public copyright licenses for the free distribution of a
creator´s work. Authors give the right to share or use upon their artistic production.
There are four kinds of licenses for protection and flexibility of owners: Attribution
(BY), Share-alike (SA), Non-commercial (NC) and Non-derivative (ND). GiveMe7´s blog is under
• Tips (for developing a presentation):
advices that could be followed for designing, preparing and delivering an
effective exposition, e.g. know your
audience as well as possible, choose
fonts well or make good eye contact,
in order to get people engaged by your subject matter and presentation skills.
• Slideshow: a presentation of a series of still images
on a projection screen (or on an electronic display device), typically in a planned
sequences. Well-formulated slideshows allows speakers to match illustrated
images to a verbal exposition. The development of a storyboard as a first step is key for
a clear and organized slideshow, and as with any public speaking, some rehearsal
is required to make an engaging and useful presentation.
Related to educational competencies, presentation skills become very useful as the teacher
can effectively display information to groups, transforms himself/herself into
a good communicator, learn how to use a variety of presentation methods to
maintain group focus and how to change tactics midstream if something isn’t
working. And all of this using resources with the permission of the legal
owners, thereby instilling a fairer use of assets, especially digital ones.
