Thinking Ahead- Presentation

Personally i have decided to concentrate in the main subject which is children's education. i would use more imagery that will be familiar and friendly. I have learn that i should use graphics that will entertain and inform the audience. Watching the videos made me aware about the fact that its all about the presenter and obtaining the attention of the audience with in the first three minutes and then elaborate in the topic. I notice that the outfit of the presenters were suitable for presenting the topic as formal and serious. I have a better idea on how to use the materials available and how to present the information about my topic.
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/sugata_mitra_the_child_driven_education.html in the video shows how children are capable of learning how to use a computer with out having to read instructions or having someone teaching them.
http://www.scoop.it/t/digital-presentations-in-education this page shows videos about presentations or ways to present topics and tell which programs are better.
http://www.lrc.centennialcollege.ca/tutorserv/Presentations/Presentation%20Skills.htm this webpage is simply advice on how to give a good presentation
http://sanchezclass.com/home.htm in this webpage i like the way this teacher has its information in her personal website were parents and students can access information however i would work on the layout and the fact that the page is only in english
