Thank you re the Foundling Museum ... I learnt a lot then too ... and all went well thank you.<br /><br />@ Val - oh great you know about this style - and fascinating you taught it ... this chap was very confident and in full control of the ideas he wanted to get over. I'd have hated the challenge ... now perhaps I'd cope!<br /><br />Cheers to you both - and thank you for coming by ...

It was certainly lively, but it needs a lot of practice to do it well. My students enjoyed the challenge, though.Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-51898253115334852542022-11-23T19:01:16.450+00:002022-11-23T19:01:16.450+00:00So wonderful to have found something new to be so ...So wonderful to have found something new to be so exciting. I used to not care for giving presentations and it's still not my favorite thing to do, but it doesn't bother me in the least to present if I have to. :) Also, good look at the Foundling Museum!mail4roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850985344834209198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-89584949524941206032022-11-22T11:28:43.036+00:002022-11-22T11:28:43.036+00:00@ David - I agree .. technology is troubling ... s...@ David - I agree .. technology is troubling ... so I don't blame you for not following the links - I just wanted to know - hence the post. I might give the concept a try ... out of interest. I use the Mac version of Powerpoint - and as long as I remember to change the extension ... it's ok! & easy ... <br /><br />I could do with someone around who can help ... but with the brain in full gear I seem to be able to cope. I also have a good presentation voice ... obtained from talking to my mother and uncle - when I needed to speak more clearly and slowly - but I didn't much like standing up and talking ... now I've 'grown' into it!<br /><br />We have a lovely dry sunny day ... <br /><br />@ Sandra - have a lovely Thanksgiving ... and the presentation went off well thank you ... <br /><br />@ Liz - it probably is (another iteration of a slideshow) ... but I'd never seen it in a presentation to a group format - and have the name stated - so I could check it out. Also the fact it was set out by an architectural practice and came out of Japan interested me ... <br /><br />@ Elizabeth - thanks ... the presenter was very knowledgeable and once finished - answered every question in the full ... I was very impressed. I hope you enjoy the look at the site ... I think you will.<br /><br />Cheers to you four - thanks so much for visiting - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-67948361597574666242022-11-21T11:32:09.523+00:002022-11-21T11:32:09.523+00:00What a fun way to share information!

I have not followed the links you provided - yet - but I will summon the resolve to do so, no doubt confusing myself in the process. I do all my presentations in Power Point, and I have that down pat, and I am going to stay with it. Even that confused me when I first started, but a kind young friend of mine came and helped us through it, with Miriam sitting in on the session too so that we could remember everything between us. Technology can be intimidating to the fearful and uninitiated! Virtual hugs from Ontario - David. David M.

Thomas Coram's a very interesting man<br /><br />@ EC - pleasure ... I hope you'll feel up to taking a look ... <br /><br />@ Bazza - I know 'the rhinoceroses' made me chuckle too - for a worthwhile cause as I've 'met them' in Southern Africa. Perhaps your U3A are more advanced than ours are down here and you're nearer the London environs. It does seem these types of presentations are around - I just hadn't come across it before ...<br /><br />@ Yam - and as I've mentioned to Bazza ... these type of presentations are obviously around - I don't look at many TED talks - I'd be over-cooking my poor brain!! <br /><br />I think you mean Kevin McCloud for house of the year ... I knew what you meant!

Yes - less is definitely more ... my talk will be both I hope! But the one we heard was very succinct ... and as you say not too much on a slide, that can't be read at the back of the room ... I just do a title with a bit of info about the image ... then I natter as much as I need to ... thankfully people can hear my stentorian tones.<br /><br />Thanks so much to you all for coming by and commenting ... great to have the extra notes too - cheers Hilary<br /><br /><br /><br />Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-66010507478892743942022-11-20T03:19:12.495+00:002022-11-20T03:19:12.495+00:00Hi Hilary

I do know from being in the library world that, for presentations at least, less is definitely more - the less words jumbled onto a powerpoint slide (or any slide, really!), the better. Of course this requires the speaker to know their stuff, so they don't have to read it off the slide. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-51604955379453115092022-11-20T02:49:37.443+00:002022-11-20T02:49:37.443+00:00You always have such interesting posts!You always have such interesting posts!Truedessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079953417572207613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-69295186498323383452022-11-19T22:02:27.801+00:002022-11-19T22:02:27.801+00:00Good luck on Monday!Good luck on Monday!John Holtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00545030511941957804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-67808699675773933762022-11-19T21:41:00.772+00:002022-11-19T21:41:00.772+00:00How interesting - we visited the Foundlings’ Museu...How interesting - we visited the Foundlings’ Museum last week!Anabel Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643196773717977697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-7962827612572498702022-11-19T19:47:42.618+00:002022-11-19T19:47:42.618+00:00Hari OM
