Capstone Reflecting

Capstone Presentations:

How did it go?
     I was still nervous of course, but overall I would say that I did well. I believe that my presentation went well, I felt prepared because I practiced several times and I knew the information. I just turn red speaking in front of people.  My table display looked good, the poster, Prezi, and binder had coordinating colors. I was really glad that I practiced my presentation in my IMED class the day of my presentation because my Prezi flowed with what I was saying and I knew everything that I wanted to say. I did not space out and forget what I was talking about, I definitely felt more confident.    

What, if anything, would I do differently?
     I know there is always room for improvement but I would say that my display and information went well. I should have maybe had a mock packaging of my activities that I would show the schools if they were to incorporate my idea in their classrooms.

Will preparing for this experience likely be useful to me in the future?
      Since I have never been good at public speaking and presenting in front of others, this project was an accomplishment for me. I was able to work something that I was passionate about and write a paper and present my information to a judge. Even though I was nervous and turned red it was a milestone for me. Just like anything in life that more practice the better you are. This presentation and the overall project in general was great practice for me because I am sure there will be more public speaking in my life.
