 As I read Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of “they SNOOZE, you LOSE” it made me realize how images, playing music, and tapping emotion into the presentation can make it memorable and meaningful for the audience to remember.  We need to be vigilant in our presentations to keep the audience entertained.  Inserting images and playing music that goes with our content will have a positive effect on our presentation.  Using images and music will be powerful to the audience’s learning and because of that will tap their emotions and have an outcome of positive learning.    As I read this book it makes more aware of what kind of presentations I want to be able to accomplish:  meaningful, memorable, and entertaining.   What I revised on my power point was input sound which captivates the audience and makes them feel more at ease.   I deleted some more words and put some eye catching images to capture the eye of the audience.   These three chapters were very interesting and informative, therefore giving me lots of useful information to be able to proceed with my power point.   I will try effectively to use the suggestions when it comes to creating presentations for my students so they too, can take something positive out of it and in turn use the information presented in their future.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 9: Tapping emotion

Synopsis:  Chapter 9

“Tapping Emotion”

            In reading Chapter 9, it mentions that no matter what words you use either positive or negative they all have a sticky potential.  Of course we want our audience to have a positive impact on our presentation, so we need to make emotions stick.  Knowing that our brains have two sides: right (emotional, musical, and moody) and left (dexterity, facts, and hard data) we want to focus on the right side so that they can have an awesome and fun presentation to remember.  A change of perspective never hurts because many students have life changing experiences around them which are obliged to act when they see the images or listen to music.  When you have a positive emotional charge in words and music it creates profound emotional impact.  As a teacher I realize how I set the mood in my classroom, do I carry the content from my heart to theirs?  As a teacher and presenter we must take the opportunity to create positive feedback and instill good images and music so that our students and audience can tap emotions into our presentations.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 8: Playing music

Synopsis:  Chapter 8

“Playing Music”

            In reading Chapter 8, it reminds us that you sometimes have only an hour to present. How can you attract your audience?  Well, by using images and having flourishing music.  Music is very powerful and can greatly impact the audience.  In this world of ours, all of the experiences we have tend to have an emotional reaction to many events.  Our audience can identify and physically experience different emotions depending on the music you play in your presentations.  The question now is what type of music do you want to have your audience listen to?  The previous chapter about images mentioned that images play a major role, but now this chapter says that starting with music will set the mood even better.  Mood altering music will definitely impact more because if you select the perfect piece and then have an awesome picture you will set the stage for the presentation.  In this chapter, Burmark states, “We know from research and personal experience that music can heighten our emotions as it immerses us in multimedia experiences.  It can instantly uplift our spirits and speed the healing of our bodies.” We now see how music can enrich learning experiences.   Finally, music can help with memory.  There are three certain factors that we can control as presenters:  same music being played during the needs of our learners, the tempo should be the same, and the mood of the topic should match the mood of the music.  Now you will make your presentation more memorable and meaningful by adding great images and having great music to accompany it.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 7: Starting with Images

Synopsis:  Chapter 7

“Starting with Images”

            In reading Chapter 7, images present and offer lots of understanding in a presentation.  Burmark explains how a simple image will have a huge impact on the audience.  Some tips on how to keep the audience’s attention is what she explains about:  setting the stage, using images that illustrate, focusing on the essentials, sizing and placing images, using color, and finally combining words and images. 

            When setting the stage the stronger the correlation, the better the slides. If you have images that illustrate you will have hooked your audience into long term memory which will be meaningful.  When you have found your illustration and have reduced the words you can now worry about where to place the image.  Placing the image full screen will captivate the audience’s eye.  She states that, “color visuals increase willingness to read by up to 80 percent, increases motivation and participation, and that color improves retention.”  Finally, when you mix images, words or audio, the eyes go to the pictures first then to the text. So the whole point is to keep your audience alive and not bored.  This chapter has made me realize how important it is to use all the tips Mrs. Burmark has mentioned.  To make our students life- long learners we must make the best of our presentations and use images.

 As I read Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 of “they SNOOZE, you LOSE” it made me realize how we need to celebrate presenters at how they give presentations.  We need to be efficient, effective, and make connections with the audience’s prior knowledge.  Using visuals and humor will be powerful to the audience’s learning and because of that will stick like Velcro. As I read this book it makes more aware of what kind of presentations I want to be able to accomplish:  meaningful, memorable, and entertaining presentations.  What I revised on my power point was input more colorful pictures with checklists and made connections with the major idea of the slide.  I deleted lots of more words and put some slides with humor to capture the eye of the audience.   These four chapters were very interesting and informative, therefore giving me lots of useful information to be able to proceed with a more concrete power point.   I will try effectively to use the suggestions when it comes to the acronym CHIME (connect, humor, image, music, emotion, story, and senses).

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 6: Harnessing Humor

Synopsis:  Chapter 6

“Harnessing Humor”

            In reading Chapter 6, we find out again that we as presenters do not want to make our audience fall asleep.  Therefore, we need to implement humor into our presentations.  We need to make sure to make our audience have a memorable and meaningful presentation.  How do students or our audience learn?  Well, they learn by laughing, doing, and laughing some more. 

            Burmark states the definition of humor as being, “Neoteny (childlike exuberance), surprise (unexpected detours), and historical perspective (as in “someday you’ll look back on this and laugh”).”   We need to be funny as educators because we need our students to laugh.   We can use funny pictures that will help them remember the content and when they bring about the humor into it they have made a connection and will remember any meaningful information that you are trying to reach out to them.  Remember that it’s their laugh that makes knowledge stick.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 5: Making Connections

Synopsis:  Chapter 5

“Making Connections”

            In reading Chapter 5, it makes me realize how important it is for students to make connections.  How can you begin? Well, teaching the abstract and moving it into a concrete example.   Having many hands on activities is how learning is remembered. When we as parents build the foundation of our children at home it is easier for them to create and construct a concrete idea of whatever situation they encounter because of what they know.  They start using their prior knowledge which in turn makes them be productive individuals.  In making presentations you as a presenter must be ready to engage and not bore your audience.  A few activities mentioned in this chapter to be able to build on prior knowledge were having visuals, humor, sequencing on historical events and using digital flash cards.  We usually use our prior knowledge to predict.   When conducting a presentation, of course we want to involve our audience and make them have a meaningful and purposeful experience. In the 10:2 practice explained in the chapter the students pause for two minutes and discuss any open-ended content questions.  This makes their learning more relevant and helps them focus instead of listening to an hour lecture. 

            Using many technology applications can also help students or audience make connections by giving them tools which they will be able to visualize and get skills they need to be able to accomplish their goal.  An example they used in this chapter was “Wordle” which helps you organize and capture keywords that have been used frequently.  Connecting with your audience physically (as a participant) not just mentally plays a major role to keep them involved and interested.  Also keep in mind the language barrier, what kind of audience you will be presenting to.  Be amusing and add some humor to your presentation and just be ready to answer any questions your audience can present to you.  Using some of these techniques will make it easier for you as a presenter to be able to make connections with your audience and them to remember what was presented and not just think this is another boring presentation.
