Today I was given 10 minutes to present my Storyboard research at a Staff meeting. This was my first opportunity to share with the staff and I think it went pretty well. I had many people comment favourably afterwards but at the time I think I was overloading some people with information as I also showed my BJ Multimedia programs to provide an idea of what can be done.
I wrote a few notes in point form although once I started speaking I didn't end up referring to them. I'm listing them here as I'm interested to read them again in a few years when my research is finished. The obvious omission at the moment is the lack of student work.
Most Department of Education directives are about content (curriculum) rather than process. My presentation is about process.
BJ Multimedia programs demonstrated briefly to show features such as the animated keyboard.
The history of enable Bass explained from Word to PowerPoint to HTML.
Animation played on reading drum notation.
Mention that I'm now enrolled to do a PhD at the University of Melbourne.
