Uploading & sharing videos to dropbox

Hi Class!

I REALLY enjoyed learning about you through your introductory speeches this week.  You all did a great job.

As you know, your self evaluations are due to me by Monday before class via CI Learn.  You need to put a link to your video on the self evaluation.  You can use any file sharing service you’d like; the most common options are to upload the video to a googledrive and share a link with me OR upload a video on Dropbox and share the link with me.

Here are instructions on how to upload and share with Dropbox

Whew!  Your first speech is done! Thumbs up

Don’t forget!

Hey Class:

Great job to those of you who did your introductory speeches on Monday!  I’m looking forward to seeing the remainder this evening.

If you’re speaking tonight, please don’t forget:

  • Arrive to class as early as possible to load your presentation onto the desktop
  • Bring FOUR copies of your peer evaluation forms for your group mates
  • Bring a copy of your outline for me and give it to me before your speech
  • Dress professionally
  • Be prepared to record yourself (ask someone in advance)
  • Rehearse so you stay under 3 minutes

Relax, breathe… you’ll do great!

 

Keep Calm and Breathe Deeply
Breaaatttthhheee!

 

Presentation aids

Dear Class:

I’m excited to hear your introductory speeches this week!  I’ve received many inquiries about presentation aids;  it’s easier just to send out an announcement to everyone.  You are required to incorporate three presentation aids into your speech – a powerpoint or projected presentation that uses text and includes a photo can count as two aids.   You’ll need to come up with a third.  Please reference chapter 6 of our class text for ideas on presentation aids and/or google “presentation aids” and see what you come up with… don’t forget you can use the resources around you to answer your questions.

Practice, practice, practice!!!

Just a reminder….
