Joana Yonel Hearing and vision disabilities

My second presentation is memorable. My speech professor, Mrs. Ssincoff, assigned my group a presentation about vision and hearing disabilities. I was confident about the presentation's content since I had prepared. And my group leader did an excellent job of breaking down the project and allocating our parts.
Despite the challenges of working virtually, we worked as a team and were helpful to one another.

I believe it is crucial to understand how to treat disabled people because they are an essential part of our society. We intended for our audience to have a better knowledge of people with vision and hearing impairment. We attempted to do so by showing a powerful short clip at the end of our presentation, by the way, was a complete success; which I think the professor enjoyed. It was mesmerized


  During my presentation I was at work trying to work and focus at the same time. I was the 11th presenter. When I began, I started choking.  I practiced sufficiently and prepared with my audience in my mind, used nonverbal cues, weaved stories, and kept things short and straightforward.

I think I'm becoming more comfortable with presentations and getting up in front of a large audience is something I know I will have to get comfortable with. Being able to present confidently is a huge part of being the occupation as a nurse. If I can give a clear and concise presentation on a subject, it will make it easier for my audience to understand the content of my presentations and not leave them confused.

When preparing my slideshow, I wanted to make sure that I used appropriate images and audio clips to give the class the best presentation I could.  Unfortunately, I had a short clip video to support my argument, but the voice wasn’t clear; including the  short video of the others teammate.

Overall, I have learned not to use too much text on the slides as I noticed from previous presentations where people got nervous and consequently tended to read directly from the slides.  Doing so took from their overall performance. Rather than do that, I would put pictures on each slide and use them as prompts. If I was to change anything about my presentation, it would be to show my  passion and Connect with the audience a little more ,focus on the audience's needs, to concentrate on my Core Message, by starting strongly and tell a story .Moreover , we had a guess name, Miss Carine, she advise us  that it’s important to cited their our sources, so we have a clear meaning and fact incase someone would like to read the information any farther.  Although, some of us had connection issue during our presentation, but the professor was very patient and understanding of the situation.

In conclusion, everyone was satisfied with their part of the presentation.  We did a fantastic job as a team and learned so much from each other in the process. It was indeed one of my favorite presentation.
