10 things I’m passionate about

I had been looking forward to this lesson as we were presenting out ’10 things I’m passionate about’ PowerPoint. We took it in turns to present, and I thought it was possibly the best lesson we had done all year. Although there wasn’t a lot of spoken teaching, it helped us to get to know our classmates better. For example, I learnt that Sarah is a fellow Liverpool supporter (best team, of course!). When creating my presentation, I used Microsoft PowerPoint. I didn’t encounter any struggled using this software as I have been using it for many years. I included pictures, which I emailed to myself, saved on my computer and inserted onto the page, and included slight information on each page. I included a few images from Google such as Liverpool football club team and Rosa Parks. Although it wasn’t necessary to insert information, I felt it would be good if people had something to read whilst listening to me rambling on, rather than just me talking, as it keeps their attention. Within my PowerPoint, I created a 6-minute video on my travels. I used Adobe Spark on Google to create the video. I encountered a few setbacks as I have never used this software before so trying to figure it out was confusing. However, once I had figured it out, I began to thoroughly enjoy creating it and could not wait to present! One obstacle I faced before I presented was that my USB would not work on the MAC computers due to being encrypted. I overcame this by using a classmates USB. When presenting, the only thing that went wrong was that one of my videos would not work. I still don’t understand why because after that I tried to play the video on my own laptop and the computers in the library, and it worked.  I feel like the environment I showed my presentation in was brilliant, because everyone was very interactive. I learnt a lot about my classmates and it was a good way to find similarities between each other. Overall, I think my presentation went very well and I was very proud of it.
