As I am nearing the end of my time working on my Multimodal Project, I would say that I am nearly finished with the finishing touches to my project. I am a waiting a response from the creator of a YouTube video I am referencing to reply back to an email that I sent him asking if I would have permission to include his video in my presentation. If I do not hear back from him by Sunday, I plan to use another video that I have found that would be another great conclusion to my presentation. I am working on the layout on some of the slides and making sure that the transitions between them is smooth and engaging. As soon as I finish with the layout of the slides I will start to put in voice recordings for each of the slides; these voice recordings will elaborate more on the information presented. After the recordings are in place I will record an entire video of the presentation to upload onto YouTube.
Before I present my project to the class, I also need to say a brief speech about my project. This speech includes my ideas and intentions that motivated my project and what rhetorical choices I used to fulfill them. I wanted to convey the idea of showcasing new technologies, other than iPhone’s or tablets, that are actually growing in popularity through their help in conserving resources in our environment. I hope that my presentation choices are attractive to my audience and that the information that I provide enlighten’s people on the technologies that can be used to preserve our environment.
I also need to include a final reflection about my Multimodal Project and about my time in Digital Rhetoric and Writing. Already I have learned so much and I am very eager to use what I have learned for future digital projects. I plan on doing a Prezi since I have a lot of experience with it. I also plan on having the theme be an iceberg or a mountain to symbolize my journey through Digital Rhetoric and Writing. I guess you could say I am “climbing the mountain of success.” I plan to talk about why I chose technology as a common theme throughout my projects and highlight important lessons that I have learned from the course that I will definitely carry with me on future endeavors.
