Hi SJT,
I “watched” your slideshow and was impressed with the feel of it: It seemed to be both expert and simple at once. While following it, I often thought — gee, they could have done the audio more professionally.
Dear nmw,
We are ROTFL. You are so right about our audio track. We are not very experienced media ‘talent’. When we do a presentation live to other actual people, we are very comfortable and our presentation comes across natural. When we did this presentation this summer at the National Rural Entrepreneurial Gathering, it went great.
We did this streaming audio/slide show using Camtasia which was very easy to use. This was, in fact, our first use of it. It will take some additional experience to get natural in this context. There is something intimidating about pushing the ‘record’ button and doing a presentation into a microphone with no audience interaction.
We’ll probably get better at this as we have experience. The Camtasia software, however, is absolutely brilliant.
nmw continued:
Then again, I am also slightly irritated how big media will polish stuff (which teenagers probably don’t even realize they’re doing) — I mean, have you ever heard a person talk incessantly without taking a breath every now and then (of course I’m a big fan of Wynton Marsalis, but I really don’t think this is the type of communications that are “appropriate technology” ;D).
I would be very interested in more details, perhaps with mathematical examples. Also more explanation on the “games” business — because I don’t quite get this.
Thanks for asking. Yes, this is precisely the kind of content we want to share here in the NED workspace. And, too, you are right about the elusiveness of the ‘games’ dimension of the Small Is Good World eCommerce experience. This can, and should, take on as many forms as we see expressed in the broad domain of gaming. We’ll be sure to expand on this further.
Thanks for your helpful comments and questions,
