Chapter 4(Ringing Chimes)
Chapter four was more about the importance of practicing how to present your presentation to your audience. Sometimes as a presenter you only have a limited time to present, so this chapter explains the importance on how you also need to get your audience attention and not loose them along the presentation. As a presenter you need to get your audience attention and be able to keep the entire presentation. The author Lynell Burmark calls it an "effective presenter". I also learned the importance of adding pictures to your presentation.I think it makes it more interesting and more appealing to the audience.
Chapter 1 (Tweaking Presentations)
After reading chapter one, I got a better understanding that a PowerPoint presentation needs to be appealing to the audience you are targeting. Before reading this chapter I just, teacher or professor would just ask me to create a PowerPoint presentation and I would just do it. After reading the book " they Snooze you lose" I now have a better understanding of how following simple details from the author Lynell Burmark, your PowerPoint will be excellent. I learned that the background of the template is intended as "backgroud" and not the focus of the presentation. The author explains that it should not compete with the information you intend to deliver your audience. Another thing I learned was not to write too much information on each slide, because the audience will just see clutter in the presentation. Color is another important factor the author mentions in the chapter. I learned that the color yellow is what calls the audience attention, and then it's the green, red, and last the blue.

What is technology ( assinment #1
Technology has become an important part of our lives as teachers inside the classroom and outside the classroom. Technology is the use of integration of meaningful tools into the classrooms, which help you show student learn new information and also helps students and teacher better communicated. The integration of technology allows for authentic learning to happen in the classroom rather than by just lecturing from a book to the students. “To become facilitators and instructors in online learning environments we must become more familiar to the needs of our students and that is drastically changing moment by moment as technology constantly changes. We must understand our students at a much level then perhaps ever before.” Palloff & Pratt (2003, p.124)
