My Web 2.0 presentation can be viewed at:

Self-Critique:

Is there a logical flow and sequence of content? How could it be improved?
- Yes I think that I had a very logical flow of content. I began by stating a problem and followed up with my solution for the problem.

Does the presenter anticipate questions and answer them in the right place? At what points did you have questions that were not answered?
-Yes. I started out the presentation by explaining a problem that is commonly experience by most snow skiers. I then followed these questions with my new solution of Shinnies.

Did the presenter grab your attention in the first 30-60 seconds?
-I think I did a good job of grabbing attention early on by explaining the background story of how the idea came about. I think that if I would have used more sounds that it might be even better.

Did the presenter ask questions and spark your curiosity?
-I think that anyone that is at all interested in the snow skiing industry will be very curious to read my presentation. Also anyone interested in business and entrepreneurial ideas.

Did the presenter set the context with a concise explanation? Is it clear what the presenter is trying to share?
-Yes the context was set very early on and all questions were answered. It is very clear what the presentation is about.

Did the presenter validate any claims?
-The only claims made are that there is indeed a problem called ShinBang and that shinnies will help to ease this pain. The only way to truly validate these claims are to try a pair of shinnies for yourself.

Did the presenter avoid inconsistencies and errors, typos and unbelievable claims?
-Yes I believe I avoided inconsistencies and typos.

How well did the presenter avoid clutter?
-By only using important pictures and not unnecessary ones, i definitely avoided clutter. The presentation is very readable and not cluttered at all.

What did the presenter do to ensure readability?
-By using simple fonts and good font sizes I ensured the readability of my presentation.

Did the presenter say it, and then show it or did he/she read the slides?
-I think that I said it, then showed it. By stating the problem at the beginning and following it with the solution i have created, I effectively showed what I wanted to show.

After doing this project I realize how important web 2.0 presentations can be in the business world. Especially now that technology and the web are becoming so important in the business world, this is a tool I see myself using for a long time to come. I can now post presentations online and get feedback from lots of people and that is a great tool when starting your own business.

By critiquing a fellow classmates project I learned that there is more than one right way to do things. The classmates project I looked at was very different than mine but was also very well put together.

I now understand more than ever how important web 2.0 presentations can be and how useful they can be to starting and managing your own business.

Until next time,
