I don’t have that much of a short attention span, but I’m positive I don’t have much of a long attention span. This slide created for JISC Next Generation Environments Conference, 2008, is a short and sweet presentation that gets the idea across. The powerpoint isn’t too text heavy or too picture heavy. On each slide there is no more than a sentence to really reflect the the message. With the message, there is no more than one picture to represent the message or add humor to the message.

What I’ve notice by browsing all the slides is that most of these major companies have high resolution images for their powerpoints which makes everything visually pleasing. What I’ve also noticed is that with most of the slides, they also create light opacity text boxes to write their texts. This technique makes text easier to read when it is accompanied by an image. This slide has all of these elements, thus making it easy to follow and making it an attention grabber.

What struck most of my interest with this powerpoint is that the message it correlated with this course. This course has really put technology as an important aspect in my life. The powerpoint reflects on how important it is to try and adapt the the changes in new technology. The slides help keep a positive light on technology and to encourage adaptation of technology in ones life. Afterall, the subtitle of the powerpoint says “Institutional & Individual Responses to Emerging Technologies” The message is important and clearly conveyed across 21 slides. I give this powerpoint a triple thumbs up.
