I never knew what Ted Talk was before this class. I was amazed of how many short but very power presentations they have. Almost all of their speakers are well knowledgeable about the topics they presenting‚ and they all have personal experiences related to their topics. All the presenters used different techniques to keep their audience engaged in their topics. Some were asking their audience questions. Others were showing images to keep their full attention. It is very hard to keep someone’s full

In the song “Pretty Hurts” written by Sia Furler‚ Joshua Coleman and Beyonce Knowles‚ has very serious empowering meaning behind the lyrics.

There’s way too much pressure on these girls and women to be beautiful. Women need to love themselves and not ponder over what they could be. In the world that

The “Ted talk process” is coming to a close‚ although‚ with that‚ a new challenge arises: the actual presentation. I presented my talk earlier on‚ this allowed me to change my talk (in the hopes of improving it)‚ but‚ my opportune placing in the schedule also allowed me to have more time to partake in the editing process. Overall‚ both my teacher‚ and fellow students gave me insightful‚ and worthy notes about my talk. Due to this‚ I now realize how incoherent‚ and unorganized my “slide order” was;
