Week 7

Part One

    We collaborated and communicated through the messaging app "Discord." Our ideas were then put onto a collaborative Google Doc. It was smooth and I wouldn't do anything differently. The person who suggested the topic made it extremely digestible for the rest of us by sharing an article to help summarize the issue and then aided me in developing the outline and relevant talking points. Everyone from there will research individual sections then we will narrate and start video production. We divided up the Google doc into a to-do list, outlined each part, and useful links that will aid in research. I'm satisfied with what we've accomplished so far.

Part Two

    I've learned a lot of stuff. Diagrams, graphs, and charts should be relevant to what is being spoken. Maps should be easy to understand. Slides should have main points and you don't read them verbatim. Lists should be to a minimum and photographs are powerful visual aids. Don't have moving text. Avoid excessive bullet pointing and keep bullet points to the main key points. Try to not overdo animation. Avoid using too many acronyms. Try to not use too many charts/diagrams/spreadsheets.
