Presentation

Being a good presenter is similar to being a good musician, athlete or artist. You need to practice a lot! This section of the GATP site provides resources to help you plan, design, create and practice your presentation.

Planning Your Presentation

Planning is a HUGE part of designing and creating your project presentation. The video below covers the planning process that you learned about in tech class. Review the video to reinforce your planning and design skills. Do note that you can use a mind mapping tool like Inspiration or one of the web-based ones listed at the Resources page to brainstorm and group your ideas. The web-based mind mapping tools gives all of your team members access to plan together whether they are at school or home. Select the picture to access the video.
