Final Presentation
Feb 17th, 2012 by surabhip
After weeks of researching information and contacting organizations, it was time for our final presentation. Last week we had a generic outline planned as to what to include and also assigned roles to each member. To be prepared by this Friday we have held two meetings, Wednesday and Thursday, during which we ran through the entire presentation once and made changes if necessary.
On Friday, we met up at 12:30 at the Forest Science Center and from there Laura drove all six of us to NSEMO. We were scheduled to present at 2:00, which left plenty of time left over to set up. Since this was only our second meeting with Dorit, we started of by once again introducing ourselves before continuing with our presentation. The order of the presentation is as follows:
- First Laura talked about using social media effectively to market NSEMO’s services and encouraging traffic to their website. She later continued by listing different municipalities and comparing and contrasting them with NSEMO based on self-registrants, advertising methods, preferred notification methods and social media usage.
- Second Luke talked about utilizing community resources as a means of advertisement such as schools, universities, cultural groups, rec centers and so on.
- Third Angie concluded the presentation by talking about some legislative requirements that need to be met both by Rapid Notify and NSEMO.
At the end of the presentation, Dorit and Paulette both thought that the presentation was good and also had some general feedback. They felt that all the presenters made good eye contact however they could have slowed down a couple of times in the middle for them to gather their thoughts and write ideas down. We had originally thought of bringing a wireless mouse as a clicker, but we forgot it in the car and mentioned it to Dorit and Paulette, but they said its best if things like that don’t get mentioned as the client would never have found out and therefore is unnecessary. Also they indicated that during the presentation, only the person speaking needs to be standing up, while the rest could be seated so as to not disturb both the presenter and the client.
Overall, we have finished half of our CSL project and are getting ready to start working on the final report which is due on Friday, February 24th, 2012. Each member is again responsible for their own sections and final copies will be sent to Erika and Surabhi to compile during reading break.
