Chapter 11

Chapter 11 gave me a lot of good ideas about presentation media. Most people think of using PowerPoint when told to use a visual aid, when really there are many other options. Depending on your topic, you can choose which presentation technique will help present your ideas the best. In the past, I have only used powerpoints and posters. The table on page 279 is helpful because it shows the advantages and limitations of each type of presentation media. I think the audio and video ideas would be a good way to catch the audiences attention. Most of these types of presentation media may take away a lot of valuable speaking time, which is probably why it is just easier and more time convenient to use PowerPoint. However, now I know there are much more options than just showing slides.
