Blogs & Feeds Presentation

Quickfire reflection on the Monday morning presentation to NUS Libraries staff:

  • Pace quickened compared to the trial-run, participants responsive during blogs, not so during feeds (perhaps an after-tea break effect?)
  • Didn’t get a chance to add more visuals, as originally intended. Will work on that for future presentations.
  • Handout should have explanatory notes if the respective slide(s) are vague/meaningless without the spoken word.
  • Need wireless presenter mouse and, if possible, laser pointer. Actually, need my own laptop… =P
  • Must add in section on blogging responsibly and blogging vis-à-vis corporation and its policies. Also something I should explore more in a personal context.
  • Prepare feedback forms and other printed material in advance!
  • Put email address and contact info in slides.

Overall, I had a good vibe from the librarians. They asked good questions throughout, and there was positive eye contact and body language. I was elated and humbled by the praise I received. This one stuck in my mind: a great way to start the week!

Indeed. =) Hope to see those RSS feeds soon!

  1. Thanks for giving us such a good talk!
    Really appreciate it.
    Haven’t got time to try the RSS feed that you mentioned (although I have been using it on my Mac for quite some time). A bit complicated for me… ^_^

  2. Hi! No problem at all. Very happy to share what I know with all of you. =)

    Hopefully I can extend this introductory presentation into an info session workshop format. Then I can get help individuals get started with RSS feeds. Getting hands-on experience works best.
