After arriving from Tambopata (Jungle) we came back to the “electronic” world. Even though in the Innovation Academy (IA) we try not to be seating down all day, we still rely on our computers, meaning that we sit down due to conformability issues. But today wasn’t a normal day; we had our POL rough draft presentations.
You are probably wondering what POL are! Well let me explain this new idea to you. In the IA each semester we have to create our own “Presentation Of Learning”. Explaining everything that we have learned, problems we faced, solutions, stories, everything you can imagine. This helps us to reflect and keep on learning at the same time. Since this semester was just for our Documentary, Domenico and I had to present a POL together about our Non-Fictional Film.
We had been working on this presentation for about one-two weeks nonstop. I have always liked the idea of putting color and a lot of media with effects and making it look appealing and different. I guess that this was my first mistake; luckily I had this practice. I was so motivated to do a cool presentation that I forgot to match the effects, fonts and letters with my actual question an theme. Now I need to make my presentation a little more serious to make it more of a reliable source and not so playful with the entire cool effects that keynote has. |
Then, Domenico and I are really motivated with this project. We wanted to share our learning to the whole world. We didn’t miss a single; we wanted the audience to be filled with information so they knew that we had been working hard and that we had placed time into this project. Once again, we got so concentrated on this that we didn’t realize that we where overwhelming the audience with info. Instead we should have placed only the key points, to make a presentation different from the other innovators and so everyone remembered the key aspects of what financial literacy was and kept focused on our presentation increasing their learning on our subject.
Then, our ideas weren’t building on as they should be. This is due to the lack of planning of the POL. We didn’t do a slide by slide plan but just a big plan of all the presentation. This also connects to the amount of reflection and anecdotes that we should have; balance is the key word.
