Reflection on Chapter 5 The Electronic Book


            In our presentation I thought we did a good job of hitting our points, being the history of print leading up to the electronic age as well as how we are using computers to make the book and organization of the book electronic. We tried to show all sides of the argument that we were showing, in that we wanted to present the good eBooks can do as well as the benefits that the printed books have to offer.
            I think that we presented the points and ideas well. I was happy about the order that each quote or idea progressed in. I thought that each statement transition both from the statement before it as well as transitioned into the next quote or statement. We also tried to break up the presentation into three main parts however I was happy that even between these parts we were able to maintain this flow so that although the sections created an order they were not necessary.
            Something that I would’ve like to change in our presentation is I would have liked more audience participation. I feel like we were just presenting facts but were not challenged on them so we did not have to really provide any explanation or back-up to what we were saying. I also would’ve liked a little more free-range discussion. Instead of just staying on one course I would’ve liked to break down and present more of the arguments that exist on the subject that we were presenting instead of just stating some of the facts and our own opinions. However even without these things I was very happy with how the prezi went.
