Noor Uddin's Term Porject Presentation

I liked the presentation done by Noor. First of all, I like that Noor used a lot of animation effects. His power points looked very nice and professional. The topic of his presentation which was a cyber-byllying, was discussed very thoroughly. I can tell that he did a lot of research and got very familiar with the topic. Also, he did all his presentation without reading it from the paper. Instead he communicated his ideas to the audience with his own words, and had the eye contact with the audience, not with his paper. As I said I like it, and I think it was one of the best presentations done so far. Though I must notice that almost every presentation I heard so far was done really good. I am impressed.

BARUCH NEW MEDIA - OUR CLASS WIKI - SO FAR

In our class wiki I contributed to the new media and entertainment section. I created the page under this section which talks about the online TV. Later I found that this topic was mentioned in the business section, so I created the internal links between these two parts that discussed the same topic. I also added external link to the online TV providers which is Nero Online TV. I started another page, the new media in the movie production. I hope somebody will contribute more information to the page.

My presentation summary

I presented on April 28th, tuesday. The topic was "The impact of the new media on children's education and social formation". I discussed two sides of the impact: positive and negative.

Positive impact inlcudes such things as promotion of learning, development of physical reaction, memory, and logic. The negative impacts that I was talking about were possible health problems such as obesity, addiction to video games, loss of physical strength. Also I was raising the problem of dificit of real life social communication, and exposure to undesirable information and contacts through the internet. At the end of my presentation I suggested to parents to control what the kids are watching or playing and to explain what is good and what is bad. I also suggested to involve kids in physical activities and real offline communication with other people.
