Self-Assessment of Presentation 6/7/14
Readability
Is the typeface attractive
and readable?
Yes.
Are there any
statistics or other data that would be easier to read in a chart, graph, or
table?
Not many. I could include some data on brain
development, but I will only do that if it doesn’t complicate the message too
much.
Is high-contrast text,
including boldface and all caps, brief enough to be legible?
Yes. One or two slides are problematic due to a
white on light color issue, but I can correct that.
Images and Other
Graphics
What do images and
other graphics contribute? Do they illustrate a concept? highlight an important
point? show something that is difficult to describe in words alone? If the
images and other graphics are only decorative, consider removing them.
The images are paired
with each concept in order to give some real-world example to the term on the
slide.
Are images and other
graphics the right size—big enough to read or to see the important detail?
The images were expanded
to dominate the slide. I am not sure if
that idea works for the viewer, but I like it.
Do images have an
obvious focus? Will readers see the part that matters? If not, consider if you
can crop the image.
I am not sure how other
viewers will react to each image. I intended
for each image to illustrate the concept in the way that clear, but I will have
to see how my audience feels.
Are the charts, graphs,
maps, or other graphics clear and informative?
I only used images for
this.
If color is used, is it
appropriate to the audience and purpose? Does color direct emphasis where it
belongs? Are too many colors used?
All of the images are
brightly colored, and were chosen based on that in part.
Content Learning
How do all the formal
elements, pictorial as well as textual and symbolic, contribute to your
emotional response or intellectual understanding of the concept?
This presentation was
created to simulate the joy of play. It
is my hope that the fun images, and exhilarating youthful music will remind
adults of childhood while expressing the Psychology of “Learning Through Play.”
What interesting tidbit did you learn from the presentation?
ReplyDeletePhysical Development is the tidbit I am glad you hit on as I feel this is an area that some children are lacking today. Play is very critical for all the points you mentioned and it really made me think about how important it is to encourage our children to play.
What image best supported your understanding of, or interest level in, the information?
I loved all the personal images you used to describe each picture. I felt each picture paired well with the words on the screen.
Were there any combination of image and words that caused confusion or could have been combined differently to improve understanding?
The only improvement I might suggest is more time to read. I caught myself at times trying to look at your pictures closely but then ended up missed the words on the screen.
I LOVE the pictures of you and your kids playing. And it is a fantastic topic on top of the images.
