Super Last Minute Dragon*Con Poll:

[wolven7]

I'm only asking these questions because, my first year, I was meant to have a PP, but the projector was not forthcoming, and I did the whole thing as an extemporaneous talk, with no visual aids. It seemed to go over Pretty Well. But last year, I went to great lengths to build a PPP, and it seemed to fall... a bit flat. People seemed more distracted than edified by the slides, and my timing felt off.

But my father makes a fine point: Some people are visual learners, and need diagrams. And if I'm going to do diagrams, I should probably have some kind of images realated to the things about which I'm talking.

So, the poll. This one's a two-parter:

1) Are you coming to my Dollhouse presentation on Sunday?

2) If you are, would you prefer a Power Point Presentation or would you not care?

If you're going to answer, put a rush on it, would you? Only the Con is in four days, and I should probably have the damn thing done, by then.

Cheers.

1) yes, i am coming, but i will probably be late since the event i will be in right before it runs until 2:30pm.

2) i prefer to have at least some slides to look at, it helps me keep track of what's being discussed.

1 - I'm 99% sure. The only way I wouldn't, at this point, is if someone asks me to another event in an official capacity, and I'd have to yell at them for making me get a performance or talk together this late.
2 - For my learning style, I would prefer a presentation that's too specific to distract, such that you only refer to it at such times as a visual is necessary; akin to illustrations every five pages or so in textbooks.

I am going. I can live without a Powerpoint presentation -- either way.
