Week Six

We started honing our presentation skills on Tuesday. Rick, trying to keep us comfortable while we spoke, advised us. He wanted us to walk side to side while looking at the imaginary audience then later walked around the conference room table as we presented. He wanted us to know that when we actually present, we can utilize the stage we're given once May presentations come. If speaker is comfortable talking, then the audience is comfortable with him. Other than completing the draft power point, Rick wanted me to work on projecting my voice; I tend to mumble my words. Before the whole practice, we attended another Arizona Tech Council hosted by KnowledgeNet. I noticed during their presentation, there was humor sprinkled along; it seemed to keep the guests relaxed. They presented an online tutoring system with tutors ready to answer questions for people looking to be ITs as an occupation.

Thursday, I was using my time to search up parts for the computer I will be building in the other location: MyTek East. Rohan and I also attending another meeting and witnessed one of the employees designing a page of a website using CSS for a client.
