Reflecting on My Practice: Google Presentation Partner Presentation

I actually did not get to present my presentation, as Nicole was my partner. However, throughout my
entire education, from elementary school to college, I have made countless presentations both by myself
and with various amounts of partners. Therefore, I have experienced both good and bad partnerships.
Thankfully, most have been wonderful. In these experiences I was comforted by the fact that my teammates
were dedicated to their share of work as much as I would, and we could therefore divvy up the amount of
information collected, written, and then presented equally. Having partners that kept up-to-date on
completing their share of the work also contributed to a successful experience and final presentation. I think
one thing I would like to try differently in my next group presentation is trying not to be the leader. My initial
response to group projects is to take control and lead it in some way or another. However over the years I
have learned that the greatest works come from the collaboration of many minds, and I would therefore love
to sit back and contribute while we all lead together (however many of us are in a group) and come up with a
great presentation.

5 Skills I Learned and Used
1. Creating a Word document (slide 2)
2. Importing a previously written Word doc (slide 3)
3. Adding a picture and duplicating the same slide (slides 4 & 5)
4. Choosing a different slide layout (slide 6)
5. Resizing picture, and formatting text over it (slide 7)
