Chapter 11, as you all know, is all about how we can integrate presentation media. Most of the information provided and explained is general knowledge that many communications associated students are familiar with. What I never really thought about was about the simplicity of the types of presentation media. To begin, I never really thought about making a presentation myself with overhead transparencies, actual audience handouts, models and even real time web access. I always thought of a presentation media outlet as a simple, but well constructed powerpoint slide presentation. Fortunately for us, powerpoint can incorporate almost all aspects of presentation media, by displaying information by slides, being able to play movies, settings up pictures and customizable entrances.
I believe that in any speech or presentation, a powerpoint can prove useful, but shouldn't be the driving force in a presentation. I was at fault during my second speech my relying on my powerpoint a bit more than I should have. I believe that Chapter 11 also shows the significance of the presentation, by proving that it could create structure in the audience's mind, and by creating visuals in the audiences' minds to see what the speaker is talking about.

Just like you I relied on my powerpoint presentation a bit more heavily than I should have. By having the powerpoint presentation we were able to put bullet point notes that I believe many people in the class had a tendency to look at. I can surely say that during my informative speech I relied on my powerpoint presentation for notes. And because of this during the presentation I managed to pay more attention to my presentation media rather than my audience. In Chapter 11 I also liked how the book introduced other sources of presentation media that a person can use during a presentation. I would have never thought of using some of the media that the book mentions.
