Capstone Reflection

Over the semester I have faced many challenges when it came to working on my capstone. But now that it is all over with, I can say that I have had a successful semester and am proud of what I have accomplished. I was able to create a really awesome website that displayed my project with the intent to inform the community about how to have good health. I am happy for the skill I have learned and am more than glad to use them next semester at Texas Tech. Go Red Raiders!

Awesome Presentation

My capstone presentation was awesome because i had a great layout. I had my computer with my website pulled up and had my flyers at hand. I gave out fruit to the interested students and taught people about living a healthy and active lifestyle. It was great and im glad its over with!

Perfect Presentation

1. I once had to sit through a 2 hour lecture, I spent over an hour sleeping in the lecture because I was bored out of my mind. I did like the topic the lecture covering, but because the speaker and the slides were monotone. I was in another lecture once, where the presenter had an interesting voice,which kept me attentive. Having a presenter with an interesting and fun voice makes me want to learn more and pay more attention.

2. I can prevent multitasks by forcing them to be involved in my presentation. This can be done by asking them questions and having them actively engage in conversion when presenting my capstone.  This will be done by asking questions at the beginning and closer towards the middle of the presentation to keep them involved throughout the whole.

3. I would use large pictures and colorful bold text to support exercise aids. It is easy to aid the audience by having bold and outlandish imagery that keep them involved.

4. I will have to change my presentation to display large bold images. These images will capture the audience and promote my overall message. It is a great visual aid to display large and bold fonts to keep the reader involved.

5. I should toss my presentation because my presentation contains too much text and does not give the audience my point/purpose in a timely presentation. Adding large bold visuals that relate to the purpose will help the audience understand my purpose in a more timely manner.

My purpose

Today there is an increasing issue with the population of teens being diagnosed with diabetes. As the generation has become more technological dependent, lazyness has increased. Lack of exercise and diet has been a positive trend that coorlates to the increase of diagnosed teens. I am using my website to raise awareness of teens with diabetes. I plan on creating a support group that will raise awareness and help teens think more about their choices when it comes to diet and how to spend their time. Having diabetes dampness the quality of life, and with the alarming number/statistics, awareness is key to decreasing the diagnosis per year.
